Bug 171230 – [GTK] Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

When running the WebKitGTK+ layout tests, the following warning appears on /var/log/user.log

   WebKitWebProcess: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application

[Michael Catanzaro]

I think the original warning was fixed in bug #173589.

But now we have a new one:

Sep 01 08:57:53 victory-road WebKitNetworkProcess[20806]: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application

Seems like it's needed in network process too.

[Zan Dobersek]

Most likely this is occurring due to PAL::CryptoDigest use in SoupNetworkSession.

We should move this down to PAL so we don't have to duplicate it in multiple places. Probably time to add a Source/WebCore/PAL/pal/crypto/gcrypt/Utilities.cpp.
