2022-08-17Correct the documentation for OPENSSL_MALLOC_FDMatt Caswell1-8/+9
The documentation was misleading in that it suggests that this environment variable will record information about all allocations. While this is true it doesn't record the most useful information that you might expect such as the requested size of the allocation! It is mainly for use in conjunction with OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES, and reports information about what chance an allocation has of failing. We also clarify that the mem_debug functions are actually no-ops in 3.0.

2021-12-06Clarify the deprecation warnings in the docsMatt Caswell1-3/+3
There was recently an instance where a user was confused by the deprecation warnings in the docs. They believed the warning applied to the immediately preceding function declarations, when it fact it applied to the following function declarations. https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2021-December/014665.html We clarify the wording to make it clear that the warning applies to the following functions.

2020-02-10Memory allocator code cleanupDavide Galassi1-27/+31
Typedefs of CRYPTO malloc, realloc and free. MEM_CHECK "modes" are used only as a CRYPTO_mem_ctrl() parameter The CRYPTO_mem_ctrl is defined only if OPENSSL_NO_CRYPTO_MDEBUG is defined, thus define the MEM_CHECK modes under the same condition. Maybe the macros can be removed at all since: 1. CRYPTO_mem_ctrl() just returns -1 and ignores the parameter 2. CRYPTO_mem_ctr() is declared as DEPRECATED by 3.0 Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org> Reviewed-by: Paul Dale <paul.dale@oracle.com> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/11042)
2019-12-14Deprecate most of debug-memoryRich Salz1-51/+19
Fixes #8322 The leak-checking (and backtrace option, on some platforms) provided by crypto-mdebug and crypto-mdebug-backtrace have been mostly neutered; only the "make malloc fail" capability remains. OpenSSL recommends using the compiler's leak-detection instead. The OPENSSL_DEBUG_MEMORY environment variable is no longer used. CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(), CRYPTO_set_mem_debug(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks_fp() and CRYPTO_mem_leaks_cb() return a failure code. CRYPTO_mem_debug_{malloc,realloc,free}() have been removed. All of the above are now deprecated.

2019-08-12Add OPENSSL_hexstr2buf_ex() and OPENSSL_buf2hexstr_ex()Richard Levitte1-20/+0
They do the same thing as OPENSSL_hexstr2buf() and OPENSSL_buf2hexstr(), except they take a result buffer from the caller. We take the opportunity to break out the documentation of the hex to / from buffer conversion routines from the OPENSSL_malloc() file to its own file. These routines aren't memory allocation routines per se. Reviewed-by: Paul Dale <paul.dale@oracle.com> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/9303)
2019-07-17Deprecated {OPENSSL,CRYPTO}_debug_mem_{push,pop}Rich Salz1-21/+19
They were only used for recursive ASN1 parsing. Even if the internal memory-debugging facility remains, this simplification seems worthwhile.

2017-06-08doc/man3: reformat the function prototypes in the synopsesBeat Bolli1-1/+2
I tried hard to keep the lines at 80 characters or less, but in a few cases I had to punt and just indented the subsequent lines by 4 spaces. A few well-placed typedefs for callback functions would really help, but these would be part of the API, so that's probably for later. I also took the liberty of inserting empty lines in overlong blocks to provide some visual space.
