NAME

       gnutls_global_set_mem_functions - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/compat.h>

       void      gnutls_global_set_mem_functions(gnutls_alloc_function     alloc_func,     gnutls_alloc_function
       secure_alloc_func,  gnutls_is_secure_function   is_secure_func,   gnutls_realloc_function   realloc_func,
       gnutls_free_function free_func);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_alloc_function alloc_func
                   it's the default memory allocation function. Like malloc().

       gnutls_alloc_function secure_alloc_func
                   This is the memory allocation function that will be used for sensitive data.

       gnutls_is_secure_function is_secure_func
                   a function that returns 0 if the memory given is not secure. May be NULL.

       gnutls_realloc_function realloc_func
                   A realloc function

       gnutls_free_function free_func
                   The function that frees allocated data. Must accept a NULL pointer.

DEPRECATED

       since 3.3.0 it is no longer possible to replace the internally used memory allocation functions

       This is the function where you set the memory allocation functions gnutls is going to use. By default the
       libc's allocation functions (malloc(), free()), are used by gnutls, to allocate both  sensitive  and  not
       sensitive data.  This function is provided to set the memory allocation functions to something other than
       the defaults

       This function must be called before gnutls_global_init() is called.  This function is not thread safe.
