[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | WIP: Compare DNs by comparing their string representations (!1223)

[Development of GNU's TLS library]

Pierre Ossman (Work account) created a merge request: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/merge_requests/1223

Project:Branches: CendioOssman/gnutls:compare_dn to gnutls/gnutls:master
Author:    Pierre Ossman (Work account)



A binary comparison will not work in case the contents is the same but the ASN.1 type differ (e.g. PrintableString vs UTF8String). Such variations are permitted so we need to handle them.

An attempt at fixing #553.
