# NAME
|
|
|
|
curl_global_init_mem - Global libcurl initialization with memory callbacks
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_global_init_mem(long flags,
|
|
curl_malloc_callback m,
|
|
curl_free_callback f,
|
|
curl_realloc_callback r,
|
|
curl_strdup_callback s,
|
|
curl_calloc_callback c);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This function works exactly as curl_global_init(3) with one addition: it
|
|
allows the application to set callbacks to replace the otherwise used internal
|
|
memory functions.
|
|
|
|
If you are using libcurl from multiple threads or libcurl was built with the
|
|
threaded resolver option then the callback functions must be thread safe. The
|
|
threaded resolver is a common build option to enable (and in some cases the
|
|
default) so we strongly urge you to make your callback functions thread safe.
|
|
|
|
All callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers. The
|
|
prototypes for the given callbacks must match these:
|
|
|
|
## void *malloc_callback(size_t size);
|
|
|
|
To replace malloc()
|
|
|
|
## void free_callback(void *ptr);
|
|
|
|
To replace free()
|
|
|
|
## void *realloc_callback(void *ptr, size_t size);
|
|
|
|
To replace realloc()
|
|
|
|
## char *strdup_callback(const char *str);
|
|
|
|
To replace strdup()
|
|
|
|
## void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
|
|
|
|
To replace calloc()
|
|
|
|
This function is otherwise the same as curl_global_init(3), please refer
|
|
to that man page for documentation.
|
|
|
|
# CAUTION
|
|
|
|
Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to severely
|
|
screw things up for libcurl. Take care!

# EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
extern void *malloc_cb(size_t);
|
|
extern void free_cb(void *);
|
|
extern void *realloc_cb(void *, size_t);
|
|
extern char *strdup_cb(const char *);
|
|
extern void *calloc_cb(size_t, size_t);
|
|
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
curl_global_init_mem(CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT, malloc_cb,
|
|
free_cb, realloc_cb,
|
|
strdup_cb, calloc_cb);
|
|
}
