Functions

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) More...
 
void mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_free (void)
 Free the mutex for thread-safety and clear remaining memory. More...

 Determine when the allocator should automatically verify the state of the entire chain of headers / meta-data. (Default: MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_NONE) More...
 
void mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_status (void)
 Print out the status of the allocated memory (primarily for use after a program should have de-allocated all memory) Prints out a list of 'still allocated' blocks and their stack trace if MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE is defined. More...

Function Documentation

void mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_cur_get ( size_t *  cur_used,
size_t *  cur_blocks 
)

Get the current heap usage.

Parameters
cur_usedCurrent number of bytes in use or committed. This includes bytes in allocated blocks too small to split into smaller blocks but larger than the requested size.
cur_blocksCurrent number of blocks in use, including free and used
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
void mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_max_get ( size_t *  max_used,
size_t *  max_blocks 
)

Get the peak heap usage so far.

Parameters
max_usedPeak number of bytes in use or committed. This includes bytes in allocated blocks too small to split into smaller blocks but larger than the requested size.
max_blocksPeak number of blocks in use, including free and used
void mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_max_reset ( void  )

Reset peak statistics.

int mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_self_test ( int  verbose)

Checkup routine.

Returns
0 if successful, or 1 if a test failed
void mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_status ( void  )

Print out the status of the allocated memory (primarily for use after a program should have de-allocated all memory) Prints out a list of 'still allocated' blocks and their stack trace if MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE is defined.

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
