[ruby-core:47397] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6946] FIPS support?

Issue #6946 has been updated by MartinBosslet (Martin Bosslet).


I believe the proper way to handle differences in FIPS mode is to expose a handle that
allows to detect whether we are running in FIPS mode or not. That way we can configure 
appropriate algorithms and key sizes in the tests. This should make it possible to run 
tests quickly when not using FIPS (as needed by rubyci) while still offering better 
support for running the tests in FIPS mode. Working on that now.

Hi, running the test suite on FIPS enabled system using 

 $ find test/ -type f -name test_*.rb -exec make test-all TESTS="-v '{}'" \;

command with patch from #6938 applied, it gives me a plenty of errors (see attached output.txt file). There are two kind of errors as far as I understand, some are more or less test suite errors (e.g. #6938), which should be easy to fix, while some others (e.g. #6943) would need bigger changes.

Is there any chance that Ruby will provide better support for FIPS and there errors get fixed?
