Unexport ASN1_OBJECT_new. Outside the library, this function is practically useless. It creates an empty ASN1_OBJECT, which can never be filled in because the struct is private and there are no mutating setters. (See https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/c/boringssl/+/46164 and https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/c/boringssl/+/48326 for a discussion on why it's important ASN1_OBJECTs are immutable.) Update-Note: ASN1_OBJECT_new is no longer exported. While this function does remain in OpenSSL, it is extremely unlikely anyone has found a use for this function.

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.
Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.
Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.
BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.
Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
