Function Documentation

mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init()

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

buf	buffer to use as heap
len	size of the buffer

mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_free()

void mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_free

(

void

)

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

mbedtls_memory_buffer_set_verify()

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

verify

One of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_NONE, MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_ALLOC, MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_FREE or MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_ALWAYS

mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_verify()

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
