With CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION you specifty a callback to use. When that
callback function is used, the second argument is a 'ssl_ctx' pointer.

This pointer is TLS library specific, so in order to be able to use this for
anything your application needs to know about the TLS library in use and it
needs to know how to use this pointer with that library.

In your case apparently OpenSSL. For OpenSSL that is a pointer to a 'SSL_CTX'.

OpenSSL changed a lot of stuff in the SSL_CTX struct between 1.0.2 and 1.1.1
and lots of data that was previously available in that struct now requires
access function calls etc.

curl will work fine. If your application depends on something (in that
callback call path) that OpenSSL 1.0.2 could do that 1.1.1 can't, then you
need to update/change your code for that.
