Memory Management
4 RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Library Reference Manual
Memory Management
Crypto-C provides memory management routines that perform memory allocation
(
T_malloc, T_realloc and T_free) and memory operations (T_memcmp, T_memcpy,
T_memmove, and T_memset). These functions are modeled after conventional C library
functions such as
malloc, memset, etc. If you want to use the Crypto-C memory-
management functions, you must link in the
tstdlib.c file when you build your
application.
You can also supply your own versions of these functions if, for example, you need
platform-specific routines. In this case, you link to your application both your
memory-management functions and the Crypto-C library. Crypto-C will use these
statically linked functions in place of its memory management routines.
The BDEMO demonstration application provides a sample implementation of these
functions. See “Details of Crypto-C Functions” on page 289 for descriptions and
prototypes of these functions.
