Function Documentation

jwt_get_alloc()

void jwt_get_alloc	(	jwt_malloc_t *	pmalloc,
		jwt_realloc_t *	prealloc,
		jwt_free_t *	pfree )

Get functions used for allocating and freeing memory.

Parameters

pmalloc	Pointer to malloc function output variable, or NULL
prealloc	Pointer to realloc function output variable, or NULL
pfree	Pointer to free function output variable, or NULL

jwt_set_alloc()

int jwt_set_alloc	(	jwt_malloc_t	pmalloc,
		jwt_realloc_t	prealloc,
		jwt_free_t	pfree )

Set functions to be used for allocating and freeing memory.

By default, LibJWT uses malloc, realloc, and free for memory management. This function allows the user of the library to specify its own memory management functions. This is especially useful on Windows where mismatches in runtimes across DLLs can cause problems.

The caller can specify either a valid function pointer for any of the parameters or NULL to use the corresponding default allocator function.

Note that this function will also set the memory allocator for the Jansson library.

Parameters

pmalloc	The function to use for allocating memory or NULL to use malloc
prealloc	The function to use for reallocating memory or NULL to use realloc
pfree	The function to use for freeing memory or NULL to use free

Returns

0 on success or errno otherwise.
