Are you working from OpenSSL's master branch, or some other branch of
OpenSSL?  This should not happen on the stable, released branches of
OpenSSL.

OpenSSL is in the process of making all of its data structures opaque.
This will not happen until the next large ABI change, but there should
be accessor functions available for common operations like checking the
state of a connection.  If you don't see the accessor function you
expect on the master branch, you should raise the issue on the
openssl-dev mailing list, where they're currently discussing this
refactoring.
