Adding a New NID or OID

To add a new ASN.1 object (with a NID and/or OID) to BoringSSL, you must add it to the objects definition file and regenerate the generated headers and lookup tables.

Refer to crypto/obj/README.md for an overview of the generated files.

Steps

Update objects.txt:
Add the new object to crypto/obj/objects.txt.
Follow the format described in crypto/obj/README.md (in the section titled "objects.txt Format Reference").

Regenerate Files:
The generator script crypto/obj/objects.go must be run from the crypto/obj directory because it relies on relative paths for its inputs and outputs.
Run the following command:

        cd crypto/obj && go run objects.go

This will update obj_mac.num (to stabilize NIDs), obj_dat.h, and include/openssl/nid.h.
