## Detailed Description

Buffer-based memory allocator.

Definition in file memory_buffer_alloc.h.

## Macro Definition Documentation

## ◆ MBEDTLS_MEMORY_ALIGN_MULTIPLE

#define MBEDTLS_MEMORY_ALIGN_MULTIPLE 4

Align on multiples of this value

Definition at line 51 of file memory_buffer_alloc.h.

## ◆ MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_ALWAYS

#define MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_ALWAYS (MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_ALLOC | MBEDTLS_MEMORY_VERIFY_FREE)

## Function Documentation

## ◆ 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_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_self_test()

int mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_self_test | ( | int | verbose | ) |

Checkup routine.

Returns
  0 if successful, or 1 if a test failed

## ◆ 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

## ◆ 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
