DESCRIPTION
Applications can create and use their own stacks by placing any of the
macros described below in a header file. These macros define typesafe
inline functions that wrap around the utility OPENSSL_sk_ API. In the
description here, TYPE is used as a placeholder for any of the OpenSSL
datatypes, such as X509.
STACK_OF() returns the name for a stack of the specified TYPE.
DEFINE_STACK_OF() creates set of functions for a stack of TYPE. This
will mean that type TYPE is stored in each stack, the type is
referenced by STACK_OF(TYPE) and each function name begins with
sk_TYPE_. For example:
TYPE *sk_TYPE_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx);
DEFINE_STACK_OF_CONST() is identical to DEFINE_STACK_OF() except each
element is constant. For example:
const TYPE *sk_TYPE_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx);
DEFINE_SPECIAL_STACK_OF() defines a stack of TYPE but each function
uses FUNCNAME in the function name. For example:
TYPE *sk_FUNCNAME_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx);
DEFINE_SPECIAL_STACK_OF_CONST() is similar except that each element is
constant:
const TYPE *sk_FUNCNAME_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx);
sk_TYPE_num() returns the number of elements in sk or -1 if sk is NULL.
sk_TYPE_value() returns element idx in sk, where idx starts at zero. If
idx is out of range then NULL is returned.
sk_TYPE_new() allocates a new empty stack using comparison function
compare. If compare is NULL then no comparison function is used. This
function is equivalent to sk_TYPE_new_reserve(compare, 0).
sk_TYPE_new_null() allocates a new empty stack with no comparison
function. This function is equivalent to sk_TYPE_new_reserve(NULL, 0).
sk_TYPE_reserve() allocates additional memory in the sk structure such
that the next n calls to sk_TYPE_insert(), sk_TYPE_push() or
sk_TYPE_unshift() will not fail or cause memory to be allocated or
reallocated. If n is zero, any excess space allocated in the sk
structure is freed. On error sk is unchanged.
sk_TYPE_new_reserve() allocates a new stack. The new stack will have
additional memory allocated to hold n elements if n is positive. The
next n calls to sk_TYPE_insert(), sk_TYPE_push() or sk_TYPE_unshift()
will not fail or cause memory to be allocated or reallocated. If n is
zero or less than zero, no memory is allocated. sk_TYPE_new_reserve()
also sets the comparison function compare to the newly created stack.
If compare is NULL then no comparison function is used.
sk_TYPE_set_cmp_func() sets the comparison function of sk to compare.
The previous comparison function is returned or NULL if there was no
previous comparison function.
sk_TYPE_free() frees up the sk structure. It does not free up any
elements of sk. After this call sk is no longer valid.
sk_TYPE_zero() sets the number of elements in sk to zero. It does not
free sk so after this call sk is still valid.
sk_TYPE_pop_free() frees up all elements of sk and sk itself. The free
function freefunc() is called on each element to free it.
sk_TYPE_delete() deletes element i from sk. It returns the deleted
element or NULL if i is out of range.
sk_TYPE_delete_ptr() deletes element matching ptr from sk. It returns
the deleted element or NULL if no element matching ptr was found.
sk_TYPE_insert() inserts ptr into sk at position idx. Any existing
elements at or after idx are moved downwards. If idx is out of range
the new element is appended to sk. sk_TYPE_insert() either returns the
number of elements in sk after the new element is inserted or zero if
an error (such as memory allocation failure) occurred.
sk_TYPE_push() appends ptr to sk it is equivalent to:
sk_TYPE_insert(sk, ptr, -1);
sk_TYPE_unshift() inserts ptr at the start of sk it is equivalent to:
sk_TYPE_insert(sk, ptr, 0);
sk_TYPE_pop() returns and removes the last element from sk.
sk_TYPE_shift() returns and removes the first element from sk.
sk_TYPE_set() sets element idx of sk to ptr replacing the current
element. The new element value is returned or NULL if an error
occurred: this will only happen if sk is NULL or idx is out of range.
sk_TYPE_find() searches sk for the element ptr. In the case where no
comparison function has been specified, the function performs a linear
search for a pointer equal to ptr. The index of the first matching
element is returned or -1 if there is no match. In the case where a
comparison function has been specified, sk is sorted then
sk_TYPE_find() returns the index of a matching element or -1 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 sk could change.
sk_TYPE_find_ex() operates like sk_TYPE_find() except when a comparison
function has been specified and no matching element is found. Instead
of returning -1, sk_TYPE_find_ex() returns the index of the element
either before or after the location where ptr would be if it were
present in sk.
sk_TYPE_sort() sorts sk using the supplied comparison function.
sk_TYPE_is_sorted() returns 1 if sk is sorted and 0 otherwise.
sk_TYPE_dup() returns a copy of sk. Note the pointers in the copy are
identical to the original.
sk_TYPE_deep_copy() returns a new stack where each element has been
copied. Copying is performed by the supplied copyfunc() and freeing by
freefunc(). The function freefunc() is only called if an error occurs.
NOTES
Care should be taken when accessing stacks in multi-threaded
environments. Any operation which increases the size of a stack such
as sk_TYPE_insert() or sk_push() can "grow" the size of an internal
array and cause race conditions if the same stack is accessed in a
different thread. Operations such as sk_find() and sk_sort() can also
reorder the stack.
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 a is equal to, greater than or less than b
respectively.
Care should be taken when checking the return values of the functions
sk_TYPE_find() and sk_TYPE_find_ex(). They return an index to the
matching element. In particular 0 indicates a matching first element.
A failed search is indicated by a -1 return value.
STACK_OF(), DEFINE_STACK_OF(), DEFINE_STACK_OF_CONST(), and
DEFINE_SPECIAL_STACK_OF() are implemented as macros.
The underlying utility OPENSSL_sk_ API should not be used directly. It
defines these functions: OPENSSL_sk_deep_copy(), OPENSSL_sk_delete(),
OPENSSL_sk_delete_ptr(), OPENSSL_sk_dup(), OPENSSL_sk_find(),
OPENSSL_sk_find_ex(), OPENSSL_sk_free(), OPENSSL_sk_insert(),
OPENSSL_sk_is_sorted(), OPENSSL_sk_new(), OPENSSL_sk_new_null(),
OPENSSL_sk_num(), OPENSSL_sk_pop(), OPENSSL_sk_pop_free(),
OPENSSL_sk_push(), OPENSSL_sk_reserve(), OPENSSL_sk_set(),
OPENSSL_sk_set_cmp_func(), OPENSSL_sk_shift(), OPENSSL_sk_sort(),
OPENSSL_sk_unshift(), OPENSSL_sk_value(), OPENSSL_sk_zero().
RETURN VALUES

passed stack is NULL.
sk_TYPE_value() returns a pointer to a stack element or NULL if the
index is out of range.
sk_TYPE_new(), sk_TYPE_new_null() and sk_TYPE_new_reserve() return an
empty stack or NULL if an error occurs.
sk_TYPE_reserve() returns 1 on successful allocation of the required
memory or 0 on error.
sk_TYPE_set_cmp_func() returns the old comparison function or NULL if
there was no old comparison function.
sk_TYPE_free(), sk_TYPE_zero(), sk_TYPE_pop_free() and sk_TYPE_sort()
do not return values.
sk_TYPE_pop(), sk_TYPE_shift(), sk_TYPE_delete() and
sk_TYPE_delete_ptr() return a pointer to the deleted element or NULL on
error.

number of elements in the stack and 0 if an error occurred.
sk_TYPE_set() returns a pointer to the replacement element or NULL on
error.
sk_TYPE_find() and sk_TYPE_find_ex() return an index to the found
element or -1 on error.
sk_TYPE_is_sorted() returns 1 if the stack is sorted and 0 if it is
not.
sk_TYPE_dup() and sk_TYPE_deep_copy() return a pointer to the copy of
the stack.
HISTORY
Before OpenSSL 1.1.0, this was implemented via macros and not inline
functions and was not a public API.
sk_TYPE_reserve() and sk_TYPE_new_reserve() were added in OpenSSL
1.1.1.
