@ -23,27 +28,33 @@ Internally, the OpenSSL library context C<OPENSSL_CTX> is implemented
as a C<CRYPTO_EX_DATA>, which allows data from diverse parts of the
library to be added and removed dynamically.
Each such data item must have a corresponding CRYPTO_EX_DATA index
associated with it.
associated with it. Unlike normal CRYPTO_EX_DATA objects we use static indexes
to identify data items. These are mapped transparetnly to CRYPTO_EX_DATA dynamic
indexes internally to the implementation.
See the example further down to see how that's done.
openssl_ctx_new_index() allocates a new library context index, and
associates it with the functions given through C<meth>.
The functions given through that method are used to create or free
items that are stored at that index whenever a library context is
created or freed, meaning that the code that use a data item of that
openssl_ctx_get_data() is used to retrieve a pointer to the data in
the library context C<ctx> associated with the given C<index>. An
OPENSSL_CTX_METHOD must be defined and given in the C<meth> parameter. The index
for it should be defined in cryptlib.h. The functions through the method are
used to create or free items that are stored at that index whenever a library
context is created or freed, meaning that the code that use a data item of that
index doesn't have to worry about that, just use the data available.
Deallocation of an index happens automatically when the library
context is freed.
openssl_ctx_get_data() is used to retrieve a pointer to the data in
the library context C<ctx> associated with the given C<index>.
openssl_ctx_run_once is used to run some initialisation routine C<run_once_fn>
exactly once per library context C<ctx> object. Each initialisation routine
should be allocate a unique run once index in cryptlib.h.
Any resources allocated via a run once initialisation routine can be cleaned up
using openssl_ctx_onfree. This associates an "on free" routine C<onfreefn> with
the library context C<ctx>. When C<ctx> is freed all associated "on free"
routines are called.
