Function Documentation

void mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_free ( void  )

Free the mutex for thread-safety and clear remaining memory.

void mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init ( unsigned char *  buf,
size_t  len 
)

Initialize use of stack-based memory allocator.

The stack-based allocator does memory management inside the presented buffer and does not call calloc() and free(). It sets the global mbedtls_calloc() and mbedtls_free() pointers to its own functions. (Provided mbedtls_calloc() and mbedtls_free() are thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined)

Note
This code is not optimized and provides a straight-forward implementation of a stack-based memory allocator.
Parameters
bufbuffer to use as heap
lensize of the buffer
int mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_verify ( void  )

Verifies that all headers in the memory buffer are correct and contain sane values.

Helps debug buffer-overflow errors.

    Prints out first failure if MBEDTLS_MEMORY_DEBUG is defined.
    Prints out full header information if MBEDTLS_MEMORY_DEBUG
    is defined. (Includes stack trace information for each block if
    MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE is defined as well).
Returns
0 if verified, 1 otherwise
void mbedtls_memory_buffer_set_verify ( int  verify)

Determine when the allocator should automatically verify the state of the entire chain of headers / meta-data.

(Default: MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_NONE)

Parameters
verifyOne of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_NONE, MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_ALLOC, MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_FREE or MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_ALWAYS
