NAMEBN_CTX_new, BN_CTX_secure_new, BN_CTX_free − allocate and free BN_CTX structures
SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/bn.h>
BN_CTX *BN_CTX_new(void);
BN_CTX *BN_CTX_secure_new(void);
void BN_CTX_free(BN_CTX *c);
DESCRIPTIONA BN_CTX is a structure that holds BIGNUM temporary variables used by library functions. Since dynamic memory allocation to create BIGNUMs is rather expensive when used in conjunction with repeated subroutine calls, the BN_CTX structure is used. BN_CTX_new() allocates and initializes a BN_CTX structure. BN_CTX_secure_new() allocates and initializes a BN_CTX structure but uses the secure heap (see CRYPTO_secure_malloc (3)) to hold the BIGNUMs. BN_CTX_free() frees the components of the BN_CTX and the structure itself. Since BN_CTX_start() is required in order to obtain BIGNUMs from the BN_CTX, in most cases BN_CTX_end() must be called before the BN_CTX may be freed by BN_CTX_free(). If c is NULL, nothing is done. A given BN_CTX must only be used by a single thread of execution. No locking is performed, and the internal pool allocator will not properly handle multiple threads of execution.
RETURN VALUESBN_CTX_new() and BN_CTX_secure_new() return a pointer to the BN_CTX. If the allocation fails, they return NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error (3). BN_CTX_free() has no return values.
REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY void BN_CTX_init(BN_CTX *c);
BN_CTX_init() is no longer available as of OpenSSL 1.1.0. Applications should replace use of BN_CTX_init with BN_CTX_new instead: BN_CTX *ctx;
ctx = BN_CTX_new();
if (!ctx)
/* error */
...
BN_CTX_free(ctx);
SEE ALSOERR_get_error (3), BN_add (3), BN_CTX_start (3)
HISTORYBN_CTX_init() was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
