[PATCH 10/12] get_oid_hex_segment(): don't pad the rest of `oid`

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date
Aug 26, 2017, 08:28 UTC
Message-ID
<ba5c439f990752a7768ed82c04a387aabd75558a.1503734566.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1503734566.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

Remove the feature of `get_oid_hex_segment()` that it pads the rest of the `oid` argument with zeros. Instead, do this at the caller who needs it.

This makes the functionality of this function more coherent and removes the need for its `oid_len` argument.
