We have some special functions to wrap malloc, calloc, and realloc to
make sure we don't allocate more than some limit, similar to the
max-filesize and max-scansize limits. Our wrappers are really only
needed when allocating memory for scans based on untrusted user input,
where a scan file could have bytes that claim you need to allocate
some ridiculous amount of memory. Right now they're named:
- cli_malloc
- cli_calloc
- cli_realloc
- cli_realloc2
... and these names do not convey their purpose
This commit renames them to:
- cli_max_malloc
- cli_max_calloc
- cli_max_realloc
- cli_max_realloc2
The realloc ones also have an additional feature in that they will not
free your pointer if you try to realloc to 0 bytes. Freeing the memory
is undefined by the C spec, and only done with some realloc
implementations, so this stabilizes on the behavior of not doing that,
which should prevent accidental double-free's.
So for the case where you may want to realloc and do not need to have a
maximum, this commit adds the following functions:
- cli_safer_realloc
- cli_safer_realloc2
These are used for the MPOOL_REALLOC and MPOOL_REALLOC2 macros when
MPOOL is disabled (e.g. because mmap-support is not found), so as to
match the behavior in the mpool_realloc/2 functions that do not make use
of the allocation-limit.
to #ifndef CL_DEBUG #define NDEBUG #endif in each .c file that uses assert.
If you want assertions enabled you'll need to use --enable-debug to configure,
as until now, no change there.
