NAME¶
gnutls_global_set_mem_functions - API function
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <gnutls/compat.h>
void gnutls_global_set_mem_functions(gnutls_alloc_function
alloc_func, gnutls_alloc_function
secure_alloc_func, gnutls_is_secure_function
is_secure_func, gnutls_realloc_function
realloc_func, gnutls_free_function free_func);
ARGUMENTS¶
- gnutls_alloc_function alloc_func
- it's the default memory allocation function. Like malloc().
- gnutls_alloc_function secure_alloc_func
- This is the memory allocation function that will be used for sensitive
data.
- gnutls_is_secure_function is_secure_func
- a function that returns 0 if the memory given is not secure. May be
NULL.
- gnutls_realloc_function realloc_func
- A realloc function
- gnutls_free_function free_func
- The function that frees allocated data. Must accept a NULL pointer.
DEPRECATED¶
since 3.3.0 it is no longer possible to replace the internally used memory
allocation functions
This is the function where you set the memory allocation functions gnutls is
going to use. By default the libc's allocation functions (
malloc(),
free()), are used by gnutls, to allocate both sensitive and not
sensitive data. This function is provided to set the memory allocation
functions to something other than the defaults
This function must be called before
gnutls_global_init() is called. This
function is not thread safe.
