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.
