This one took me way too long to admit. Values were pushed back on
deserialization - instead of assigned. Meaning they were added to the
end of the already 0-assigned vector.
The mean thing here is that estimation still worked - just merging
resulted in 0. And estimation still was correct because m, V, alpha_m
are enough for this - and those were correctly copied...
With this change, all tests pass.
All types (besides EntropyVal) now support a native copy operation,
which uses primitives of the underlying datatypes to perform a quick
copy, without serialization.
EntropyVal is the one exception - since that type is rather complex
(many members) and will probably not be copied a lot, if at all, it
makes sense to just use the serialization function.
This will have to be slightly re-written in the near-term-future to use
the new serialization function for that opaque type.
This change also introduces a new x509_from_der bif, which allows to
parse a der into an opaque of x509.
This change removes the d2i_X509_ wrapper function; this was a remnant
when d2i_X509 took non-const arguments. We directly use d2i_X509 at
several places assuming const-ness, so there does not seem to ba a
reason to keep the wrapper.
This change also exposed a problem in the File cache - cases in which an
object was brought back into the cache, and writing occurred in the
file_open event were never correctly handeled as far as I can tell.
