     The ASN1_OBJECT allocation routines, allocate and free an
     ASN1_OBJECT structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT
     IDENTIFIER.

     ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes a ASN1_OBJECT
     structure.

     ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the AAAASSSSNNNN1111_OOOOBBBBJJJJEEEECCCCTTTT structure aaaa.

     Although ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates a new ASN1_OBJECT
     structure it is almost never used in applications. The ASN1
     object utility functions such as OBJ_nid2obj() are used
     instead.

RRRREEEETTTTUUUURRRRNNNN VVVVAAAALLLLUUUUEEEESSSS
     If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL and
     sets an error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
     Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated
     structure.

     ASN1_OBJECT_free() returns no value.

     ASN1_OBJECT_new() and ASN1_OBJECT_free() are available in
     all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
