The following macro has been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version
value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
#define X509_NAME_hash(x) X509_NAME_hash_ex(x, NULL, NULL, NULL)
DESCRIPTION
X509_NAME_hash_ex() returns a hash value of name x or 0 on failure,
using any given library context libctx and property query propq. The
ok result argument may be NULL or else is used to return 1 for success
and 0 for failure. Failure may happen on malloc error or if no SHA1
implementation is available.
X509_NAME_hash() returns a hash value of name x or 0 on failure, using
the default library context and default property query.
X509_get_subject_name(3) returns the subject name of certificate x. The
returned value is an internal pointer which MUST NOT be freed.
X509_set_subject_name() sets the issuer name of certificate x to name.
The name parameter is copied internally and should be freed up when it
is no longer needed.
X509_subject_name_hash() returns a hash value of the subject name of
certificate x.
X509_get_issuer_name(), X509_set_issuer_name(), and
X509_get_subject_name(3),
X509_set_subject_name(), and X509_subject_name_hash() except they
relate to the issuer name of x.
Similarly X509_REQ_get_subject_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name(),
X509_CRL_get_issuer() and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() get or set the
subject or issuer names of certificate requests of CRLs respectively.
RETURN VALUES
X509_get_subject_name(3), X509_get_issuer_name(),
X509_REQ_get_subject_name() and X509_CRL_get_issuer() return an
X509_NAME pointer.
X509_NAME_hash_ex(), X509_NAME_hash(), X509_subject_name_hash() and
X509_issuer_name_hash() return the first four bytes of the SHA1 hash
value, converted to unsigned long in little endian order, or 0 on
failure.
X509_set_subject_name(), X509_set_issuer_name(),
X509_REQ_set_subject_name() and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() return 1 for
success and 0 for failure.
BUGS
In case X509_NAME_hash(), X509_subject_name_hash(), or
X509_issuer_name_hash() returns 0 it remains unclear if this is the
real hash value or due to failure. Better use X509_NAME_hash_ex()
instead.

HISTORY
X509_REQ_get_subject_name() is a function in OpenSSL 1.1.0 and a macro
in earlier versions.
X509_CRL_get_issuer() is a function in OpenSSL 1.1.0. It was previously
added in OpenSSL 1.0.0 as a macro.
X509_NAME_hash() was turned into a macro and deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
