11 void gnutls_global_set_mem_functions(gnutls_alloc_function alloc_func,
12 gnutls_alloc_function secure_alloc_func, gnutls_is_secure_function
13 is_secure_func, gnutls_realloc_function realloc_func, gnutls_free_func‐
14 tion free_func);
15
17 gnutls_alloc_function alloc_func
18 it's the default memory allocation function. Like malloc().
19
20 gnutls_alloc_function secure_alloc_func
21 This is the memory allocation function that will be used
22 for sensitive data.
23
24 gnutls_is_secure_function is_secure_func
25 a function that returns 0 if the memory given is not
26 secure. May be NULL.
27
28 gnutls_realloc_function realloc_func
29 A realloc function
30
31 gnutls_free_function free_func
32 The function that frees allocated data. Must accept a NULL
33 pointer.
34
36 since 3.3.0 it is no longer possible to replace the internally used
37 memory allocation functions
38
39 This is the function where you set the memory allocation functions
40 gnutls is going to use. By default the libc's allocation functions
41 (malloc(), free()), are used by gnutls, to allocate both sensitive and
42 not sensitive data. This function is provided to set the memory allo‐
43 cation functions to something other than the defaults
44
45 This function must be called before gnutls_global_init() is called.
46 This function is not thread safe.
