These macros define typesafe inline functions that wrap around the utility \fBOPENSSL_sk_\fR \s-1API.\s0 In the description here, \fI\s-1TYPE\s0\fR is used as a placeholder for any of the OpenSSL datatypes, such as \fIX509\fR. .PP \&\s-1\fBSTACK_OF\s0()\fR returns the name for a stack of the specified \fB\s-1TYPE\s0\fR. \&\s-1\fBDEFINE_STACK_OF\s0()\fR creates set of functions for a stack of \fB\s-1TYPE\s0\fR. This will mean that type \fB\s-1TYPE\s0\fR is stored in each stack, the type is referenced by \&\s-1STACK_OF\s0(\s-1TYPE\s0) and each function name begins with \fIsk_TYPE_\fR. For example: .PP .Vb 1 \& TYPE *sk_TYPE_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx); .Ve .PP \&\s-1\fBDEFINE_STACK_OF_CONST\s0()\fR is identical to \s-1\fBDEFINE_STACK_OF\s0()\fR except each element is constant. For example: .PP .Vb 1 \& const TYPE *sk_TYPE_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx); .Ve .PP \&\s-1\fBDEFINE_SPECIAL_STACK_OF\s0()\fR defines a stack of \fB\s-1TYPE\s0\fR but each function uses \fB\s-1FUNCNAME\s0\fR in the function name. For example: .PP .Vb 1 \& TYPE *sk_FUNCNAME_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx); .Ve .PP \&\s-1\fBDEFINE_SPECIAL_STACK_OF_CONST\s0()\fR is similar except that each element is constant: .PP .Vb 1 \& const TYPE *sk_FUNCNAME_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx); .Ve .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_num()\fR returns the number of elements in \fBsk\fR or \-1 if \fBsk\fR is \&\fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_value()\fR returns element \fBidx\fR in \fBsk\fR, where \fBidx\fR starts at zero. If \fBidx\fR is out of range then \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR is returned. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_new()\fR allocates a new empty stack using comparison function \fBcompare\fR. If \fBcompare\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR then no comparison function is used. This function is equivalent to sk_TYPE_new_reserve(compare, 0). .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_new_null()\fR allocates a new empty stack with no comparison function. This function is equivalent to sk_TYPE_new_reserve(\s-1NULL, 0\s0). .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_reserve()\fR allocates additional memory in the \fBsk\fR structure such that the next \fBn\fR calls to \fBsk_TYPE_insert()\fR, \fBsk_TYPE_push()\fR or \fBsk_TYPE_unshift()\fR will not fail or cause memory to be allocated or reallocated. If \fBn\fR is zero, any excess space allocated in the \&\fBsk\fR structure is freed. On error \fBsk\fR is unchanged. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_new_reserve()\fR allocates a new stack. The new stack will have additional memory allocated to hold \fBn\fR elements if \fBn\fR is positive. The next \fBn\fR calls to \fBsk_TYPE_insert()\fR, \fBsk_TYPE_push()\fR or \fBsk_TYPE_unshift()\fR will not fail or cause memory to be allocated or reallocated. If \fBn\fR is zero or less than zero, no memory is allocated. \fBsk_TYPE_new_reserve()\fR also sets the comparison function \&\fBcompare\fR to the newly created stack. If \fBcompare\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR then no comparison function is used. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_set_cmp_func()\fR sets the comparison function of \fBsk\fR to \fBcompare\fR. The previous comparison function is returned or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if there was no previous comparison function. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_free()\fR frees up the \fBsk\fR structure. It does \fBnot\fR free up any elements of \fBsk\fR. After this call \fBsk\fR is no longer valid. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_zero()\fR sets the number of elements in \fBsk\fR to zero. It does not free \&\fBsk\fR so after this call \fBsk\fR is still valid. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_pop_free()\fR frees up all elements of \fBsk\fR and \fBsk\fR itself. The free function \fBfreefunc()\fR is called on each element to free it. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_delete()\fR deletes element \fBi\fR from \fBsk\fR. It returns the deleted element or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if \fBi\fR is out of range. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_delete_ptr()\fR deletes element matching \fBptr\fR from \fBsk\fR. It returns the deleted element or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if no element matching \fBptr\fR was found. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_insert()\fR inserts \fBptr\fR into \fBsk\fR at position \fBidx\fR. Any existing elements at or after \fBidx\fR are moved downwards. If \fBidx\fR is out of range the new element is appended to \fBsk\fR. \fBsk_TYPE_insert()\fR either returns the number of elements in \fBsk\fR after the new element is inserted or zero if an error (such as memory allocation failure) occurred. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_push()\fR appends \fBptr\fR to \fBsk\fR it is equivalent to: .PP .Vb 1 \& sk_TYPE_insert(sk, ptr, \-1); .Ve .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_unshift()\fR inserts \fBptr\fR at the start of \fBsk\fR it is equivalent to: .PP .Vb 1 \& sk_TYPE_insert(sk, ptr, 0); .Ve .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_pop()\fR returns and removes the last element from \fBsk\fR. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_shift()\fR returns and removes the first element from \fBsk\fR. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_set()\fR sets element \fBidx\fR of \fBsk\fR to \fBptr\fR replacing the current element. The new element value is returned or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an error occurred: this will only happen if \fBsk\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR or \fBidx\fR is out of range. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_find()\fR searches \fBsk\fR for the element \fBptr\fR. In the case where no comparison function has been specified, the function performs a linear search for a pointer equal to \fBptr\fR. The index of the first matching element is returned or \fB\-1\fR if there is no match. In the case where a comparison function has been specified, \fBsk\fR is sorted then \&\fBsk_TYPE_find()\fR returns the index of a matching element or \fB\-1\fR if there is no match. Note that, in this case, the matching element returned is not guaranteed to be the first; the comparison function will usually compare the values pointed to rather than the pointers themselves and the order of elements in \fBsk\fR could change. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_find_ex()\fR operates like \fBsk_TYPE_find()\fR except when a comparison function has been specified and no matching element is found. Instead of returning \fB\-1\fR, \fBsk_TYPE_find_ex()\fR returns the index of the element either before or after the location where \fBptr\fR would be if it were present in \fBsk\fR. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_sort()\fR sorts \fBsk\fR using the supplied comparison function. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_is_sorted()\fR returns \fB1\fR if \fBsk\fR is sorted and \fB0\fR otherwise. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_dup()\fR returns a copy of \fBsk\fR. Note the pointers in the copy are identical to the original. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_deep_copy()\fR returns a new stack where each element has been copied. Copying is performed by the supplied \fBcopyfunc()\fR and freeing by \fBfreefunc()\fR. The function \fBfreefunc()\fR is only called if an error occurs. .SH "NOTES" .IX Header "NOTES" Care should be taken when accessing stacks in multi-threaded environments. Any operation which increases the size of a stack such as \fBsk_TYPE_insert()\fR or \&\fBsk_push()\fR can \*(L"grow\*(R" the size of an internal array and cause race conditions if the same stack is accessed in a different thread. Operations such as \&\fBsk_find()\fR and \fBsk_sort()\fR can also reorder the stack. .PP Any comparison function supplied should use a metric suitable for use in a binary search operation. That is it should return zero, a positive or negative value if \fBa\fR is equal to, greater than or less than \fBb\fR respectively. .PP Care should be taken when checking the return values of the functions \&\fBsk_TYPE_find()\fR and \fBsk_TYPE_find_ex()\fR. They return an index to the matching element. In particular \fB0\fR indicates a matching first element. A failed search is indicated by a \fB\-1\fR return value. .PP \&\s-1\fBSTACK_OF\s0()\fR, \s-1\fBDEFINE_STACK_OF\s0()\fR, \s-1\fBDEFINE_STACK_OF_CONST\s0()\fR, and \&\s-1\fBDEFINE_SPECIAL_STACK_OF\s0()\fR are implemented as macros. .PP The underlying utility \fBOPENSSL_sk_\fR \s-1API\s0 should not be used directly. It defines these functions: \fBOPENSSL_sk_deep_copy()\fR, \&\fBOPENSSL_sk_delete()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_delete_ptr()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_dup()\fR, \&\fBOPENSSL_sk_find()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_find_ex()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_free()\fR, \&\fBOPENSSL_sk_insert()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_is_sorted()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_new()\fR, \&\fBOPENSSL_sk_new_null()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_num()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_pop()\fR, \&\fBOPENSSL_sk_pop_free()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_push()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_reserve()\fR, \&\fBOPENSSL_sk_set()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_set_cmp_func()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_shift()\fR, \&\fBOPENSSL_sk_sort()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_unshift()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_sk_value()\fR, \&\fBOPENSSL_sk_zero()\fR. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBsk_TYPE_num()\fR returns the number of elements in the stack or \fB\-1\fR if the passed stack is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_value()\fR returns a pointer to a stack element or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if the index is out of range. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_new()\fR, \fBsk_TYPE_new_null()\fR and \fBsk_TYPE_new_reserve()\fR return an empty stack or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an error occurs. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_reserve()\fR returns \fB1\fR on successful allocation of the required memory or \fB0\fR on error. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_set_cmp_func()\fR returns the old comparison function or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if there was no old comparison function. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_free()\fR, \fBsk_TYPE_zero()\fR, \fBsk_TYPE_pop_free()\fR and \fBsk_TYPE_sort()\fR do not return values. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_pop()\fR, \fBsk_TYPE_shift()\fR, \fBsk_TYPE_delete()\fR and \fBsk_TYPE_delete_ptr()\fR return a pointer to the deleted element or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR on error. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_insert()\fR, \fBsk_TYPE_push()\fR and \fBsk_TYPE_unshift()\fR return the total number of elements in the stack and 0 if an error occurred. \fBsk_TYPE_push()\fR further returns \-1 if \fBsk\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_set()\fR returns a pointer to the replacement element or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR on error. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_find()\fR and \fBsk_TYPE_find_ex()\fR return an index to the found element or \fB\-1\fR on error. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_is_sorted()\fR returns \fB1\fR if the stack is sorted and \fB0\fR if it is not. .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_dup()\fR and \fBsk_TYPE_deep_copy()\fR return a pointer to the copy of the stack. .SH "HISTORY" .IX Header "HISTORY" Before OpenSSL 1.1.0, this was implemented via macros and not inline functions and was not a public \s-1API.\s0 .PP \&\fBsk_TYPE_reserve()\fR and \fBsk_TYPE_new_reserve()\fR were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1. .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2000\-2017 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
