.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
OpenSSL memory allocation is handled by the \fBOPENSSL_xxx\fR \s-1API.\s0 These are
generally macro's that add the standard C \fB_\|_FILE_\|_\fR and \fB_\|_LINE_\|_\fR
parameters and call a lower-level \fBCRYPTO_xxx\fR \s-1API.\s0
Some functions do not add those parameters, but exist for consistency.
.PP
\&\fIOPENSSL_malloc_init()\fR does nothing and does not need to be called. It is
included for compatibility with older versions of OpenSSL.
.PP
\&\fIOPENSSL_malloc()\fR, \fIOPENSSL_realloc()\fR, and \fIOPENSSL_free()\fR are like the
C \fImalloc()\fR, \fIrealloc()\fR, and \fIfree()\fR functions.
\&\fIOPENSSL_zalloc()\fR calls \fImemset()\fR to zero the memory before returning.
.PP
\&\fIOPENSSL_clear_realloc()\fR and \fIOPENSSL_clear_free()\fR should be used
when the buffer at \fBaddr\fR holds sensitive information.
The old buffer is filled with zero's by calling \fIOPENSSL_cleanse()\fR
before ultimately calling \fIOPENSSL_free()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIOPENSSL_cleanse()\fR fills \fBptr\fR of size \fBlen\fR with a string of 0's.
Use \fIOPENSSL_cleanse()\fR with care if the memory is a mapping of a file.
If the storage controller uses write compression, then it's possible
that sensitive tail bytes will survive zeroization because the block of
zeros will be compressed. If the storage controller uses wear leveling,
then the old sensitive data will not be overwritten; rather, a block of
0's will be written at a new physical location.
.PP
\&\fIOPENSSL_strdup()\fR, \fIOPENSSL_strndup()\fR and \fIOPENSSL_memdup()\fR are like the
equivalent C functions, except that memory is allocated by calling the
\&\fIOPENSSL_malloc()\fR and should be released by calling \fIOPENSSL_free()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIOPENSSL_strlcpy()\fR,
\&\fIOPENSSL_strlcat()\fR and \fIOPENSSL_strnlen()\fR are equivalents of the common C
library functions and are provided for portability.
.PP
\&\fIOPENSSL_hexstr2buf()\fR parses \fBstr\fR as a hex string and returns a
pointer to the parsed value. The memory is allocated by calling
\&\fIOPENSSL_malloc()\fR and should be released by calling \fIOPENSSL_free()\fR.
If \fBlen\fR is not \s-1NULL,\s0 it is filled in with the output length.
Colons between two-character hex \*(L"bytes\*(R" are ignored.
An odd number of hex digits is an error.
.PP
\&\fIOPENSSL_buf2hexstr()\fR takes the specified buffer and length, and returns
a hex string for value, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
\&\fBBuffer\fR cannot be \s-1NULL\s0; if \fBlen\fR is 0 an empty string is returned.
.PP
\&\fIOPENSSL_hexchar2int()\fR converts a character to the hexadecimal equivalent,
or returns \-1 on error.
.PP
If no allocations have been done, it is possible to \*(L"swap out\*(R" the default
implementations for \fIOPENSSL_malloc()\fR, OPENSSL_realloc and \fIOPENSSL_free()\fR
and replace them with alternate versions (hooks).
\&\fICRYPTO_get_mem_functions()\fR function fills in the given arguments with the
function pointers for the current implementations.
With \fICRYPTO_set_mem_functions()\fR, you can specify a different set of functions.
If any of \fBm\fR, \fBr\fR, or \fBf\fR are \s-1NULL,\s0 then the function is not changed.
.PP
The default implementation can include some debugging capability (if enabled
at build-time).
This adds some overhead by keeping a list of all memory allocations, and
removes items from the list when they are free'd.
This is most useful for identifying memory leaks.
\&\fICRYPTO_set_mem_debug()\fR turns this tracking on and off. In order to have
any effect, is must be called before any of the allocation functions
(e.g., \fICRYPTO_malloc()\fR) are called, and is therefore normally one of the
first lines of \fImain()\fR in an application.
\&\fICRYPTO_mem_ctrl()\fR provides fine-grained control of memory leak tracking.
To enable tracking call \fICRYPTO_mem_ctrl()\fR with a \fBmode\fR argument of
the \fB\s-1CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON\s0\fR.
To disable tracking call \fICRYPTO_mem_ctrl()\fR with a \fBmode\fR argument of
the \fB\s-1CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF\s0\fR.
.PP
While checking memory, it can be useful to store additional context
about what is being done.
For example, identifying the field names when parsing a complicated
data structure.
\&\fIOPENSSL_mem_debug_push()\fR (which calls \fICRYPTO_mem_debug_push()\fR)
attaches an identifying string to the allocation stack.
This must be a global or other static string; it is not copied.
\&\fIOPENSSL_mem_debug_pop()\fR removes identifying state from the stack.
.PP
At the end of the program, calling \fICRYPTO_mem_leaks()\fR or
\&\fICRYPTO_mem_leaks_fp()\fR will report all \*(L"leaked\*(R" memory, writing it
to the specified \s-1BIO \s0\fBb\fR or \s-1FILE \s0\fBfp\fR. These functions return 1 if
there are no leaks, 0 if there are leaks and \-1 if an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fICRYPTO_mem_leaks_cb()\fR does the same as \fICRYPTO_mem_leaks()\fR, but instead
of writing to a given \s-1BIO,\s0 the callback function is called for each
output string with the string, length, and userdata \fBu\fR as the callback
parameters.
.PP
If the library is built with the \f(CW\*(C`crypto\-mdebug\*(C'\fR option, then one
function, \fICRYPTO_get_alloc_counts()\fR, and two additional environment
variables, \fB\s-1OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES\s0\fR and \fB\s-1OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD\s0\fR,
are available.
.PP
The function \fICRYPTO_get_alloc_counts()\fR fills in the number of times
each of \fICRYPTO_malloc()\fR, \fICRYPTO_realloc()\fR, and \fICRYPTO_free()\fR have been
called, into the values pointed to by \fBmcount\fR, \fBrcount\fR, and \fBfcount\fR,
respectively. If a pointer is \s-1NULL,\s0 then the corresponding count is not stored.
.PP
The variable
\&\fB\s-1OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES\s0\fR controls how often allocations should fail.
It is a set of fields separated by semicolons, which each field is a count
(defaulting to zero) and an optional atsign and percentage (defaulting
to 100). If the count is zero, then it lasts forever. For example,
\&\f(CW\*(C`100;@25\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`100@0;0@25\*(C'\fR means the first 100 allocations pass, then all
other allocations (until the program exits or crashes) have a 25% chance of
failing.
.PP
If the variable \fB\s-1OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD\s0\fR is parsed as a positive integer, then
it is taken as an open file descriptor, and a record of all allocations is
written to that descriptor. If an allocation will fail, and the platform
supports it, then a backtrace will be written to the descriptor. This can
be useful because a malloc may fail but not be checked, and problems will
only occur later. The following example in classic shell syntax shows how
to use this (will not work on all platforms):

.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
While it's permitted to swap out only a few and not all the functions
with \fICRYPTO_set_mem_functions()\fR, it's recommended to swap them all out
at once. \fIThis applies specially if OpenSSL was built with the
configuration option\fR \f(CW\*(C`crypto\-mdebug\*(C'\fR \fIenabled. In case, swapping out
only, say, the \fImalloc()\fI implementation is outright dangerous.\fR
