OPENSSL_no_config() disables configuration. If called before OPENSSL_config() no configuration takes place.
If the application is built with OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF defined, then a call to OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will implicitly call OPENSSL_config() first.
There are several reasons why calling the OpenSSL configuration routines is advisable. For example, to load dynamic ENGINEs from shared libraries (DSOs). However very few applications currently support the control interface and so very few can load and use dynamic ENGINEs. Equally in future more sophisticated ENGINEs will require certain control operations to customize them. If an application calls OPENSSL_config() it doesn't need to know or care about ENGINE control operations because they can be performed by editing a configuration file.
