NAME
gnutls_global_set_mem_functions - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/compat.h>
gnutls_global_set_mem_functions(3) alloc_func,
gnutls_alloc_function secure_alloc_func, gnutls_is_secure_function
is_secure_func, gnutls_realloc_function realloc_func, gnutls_free_func-
tion 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 allo-
cation functions to something other than the defaults
This function must be called before gnutls_global_init() is called.
This function is not thread safe.
