<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>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 <strong>OPENSSL_sk_</strong> API.
In the description here, <strong><em>TYPE</em></strong> is used
as a placeholder for any of the OpenSSL datatypes, such as <strong>X509</strong>.</p>
<p><code>STACK_OF()</code> returns the name for a stack of the specified <strong><em>TYPE</em></strong>.
<code>DEFINE_STACK_OF()</code> creates set of functions for a stack of <strong><em>TYPE</em></strong>. This
will mean that type <strong><em>TYPE</em></strong> is stored in each stack, the type is referenced by
<strong>STACK_OF</strong>(<strong><em>TYPE</em></strong>) and each function name begins with <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_</strong>.
For example:</p>
<pre>
TYPE *sk_TYPE_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx);</pre>
<p><code>DEFINE_STACK_OF_CONST()</code> is identical to <code>DEFINE_STACK_OF()</code> except
each element is constant. For example:</p>
<pre>
const TYPE *sk_TYPE_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx);</pre>
<p><code>DEFINE_SPECIAL_STACK_OF()</code> defines a stack of <strong><em>TYPE</em></strong> but
each function uses <strong>FUNCNAME</strong> in the function name. For example:</p>
<pre>
TYPE *sk_FUNCNAME_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx);</pre>
<p><code>DEFINE_SPECIAL_STACK_OF_CONST()</code> is similar except that each element is
constant:</p>
<pre>
const TYPE *sk_FUNCNAME_value(STACK_OF(TYPE) *sk, int idx);</pre>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_num</strong>() returns the number of elements in <em>sk</em> or -1 if <em>sk</em> is
NULL.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_value</strong>() returns element <em>idx</em> in <em>sk</em>, where <em>idx</em> starts at
zero. If <em>idx</em> is out of range then NULL is returned.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_new</strong>() allocates a new empty stack using comparison function
<em>compare</em>. If <em>compare</em> is NULL then no comparison function is used. This
function is equivalent to <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_new_reserve</strong>(<em>compare</em>, 0).</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_new_null</strong>() allocates a new empty stack with no comparison
function. This function is equivalent to <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_new_reserve</strong>(NULL, 0).</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_reserve</strong>() allocates additional memory in the <em>sk</em> structure
such that the next <em>n</em> calls to <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_insert</strong>(), <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_push</strong>()
or <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_unshift</strong>() will not fail or cause memory to be allocated
or reallocated. If <em>n</em> is zero, any excess space allocated in the
<em>sk</em> structure is freed. On error <em>sk</em> is unchanged.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_new_reserve</strong>() allocates a new stack. The new stack will have
additional memory allocated to hold <em>n</em> elements if <em>n</em> is positive.
The next <em>n</em> calls to <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_insert</strong>(), <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_push</strong>() or
<strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_unshift</strong>() will not fail or cause memory to be allocated or
reallocated. If <em>n</em> is zero or less than zero, no memory is allocated.
<strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_new_reserve</strong>() also sets the comparison function <em>compare</em>
to the newly created stack. If <em>compare</em> is NULL then no comparison
function is used.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_set_cmp_func</strong>() sets the comparison function of <em>sk</em> to
<em>compare</em>. The previous comparison function is returned or NULL if there
was no previous comparison function.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_free</strong>() frees up the <em>sk</em> structure. It does <em>not</em> free up any
elements of <em>sk</em>. After this call <em>sk</em> is no longer valid.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_zero</strong>() sets the number of elements in <em>sk</em> to zero. It does not
free <em>sk</em> so after this call <em>sk</em> is still valid.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_pop_free</strong>() frees up all elements of <em>sk</em> and <em>sk</em> itself. The
free function <code>freefunc()</code> is called on each element to free it.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_delete</strong>() deletes element <em>i</em> from <em>sk</em>. It returns the deleted
element or NULL if <em>i</em> is out of range.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_delete_ptr</strong>() deletes element matching <em>ptr</em> from <em>sk</em>. It
returns the deleted element or NULL if no element matching <em>ptr</em> was found.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_insert</strong>() inserts <em>ptr</em> into <em>sk</em> at position <em>idx</em>. Any
existing elements at or after <em>idx</em> are moved downwards. If <em>idx</em> is out
of range the new element is appended to <em>sk</em>. <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_insert</strong>() either
returns the number of elements in <em>sk</em> after the new element is inserted or
zero if an error (such as memory allocation failure) occurred.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_push</strong>() appends <em>ptr</em> to <em>sk</em> it is equivalent to:</p>
<pre>
sk_TYPE_insert(sk, ptr, -1);</pre>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_unshift</strong>() inserts <em>ptr</em> at the start of <em>sk</em> it is equivalent
to:</p>
<pre>
sk_TYPE_insert(sk, ptr, 0);</pre>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_pop</strong>() returns and removes the last element from <em>sk</em>.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_shift</strong>() returns and removes the first element from <em>sk</em>.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_set</strong>() sets element <em>idx</em> of <em>sk</em> to <em>ptr</em> replacing the current
element. The new element value is returned or NULL if an error occurred:
this will only happen if <em>sk</em> is NULL or <em>idx</em> is out of range.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_find</strong>() searches <em>sk</em> for the element <em>ptr</em>. In the case
where no comparison function has been specified, the function performs
a linear search for a pointer equal to <em>ptr</em>. The index of the first
matching element is returned or <strong>-1</strong> if there is no match. In the case
where a comparison function has been specified, <em>sk</em> is sorted then
<strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_find</strong>() returns the index of a matching element or <strong>-1</strong> 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 <em>sk</em> could change.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_find_ex</strong>() operates like <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_find</strong>() except when a
comparison function has been specified and no matching element is found.
Instead of returning <strong>-1</strong>, <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_find_ex</strong>() returns the index of the
element either before or after the location where <em>ptr</em> would be if it were
present in <em>sk</em>.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_sort</strong>() sorts <em>sk</em> using the supplied comparison function.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_is_sorted</strong>() returns <strong>1</strong> if <em>sk</em> is sorted and <strong>0</strong> otherwise.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_dup</strong>() returns a copy of <em>sk</em>. Note the pointers in the copy
are identical to the original.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_deep_copy</strong>() returns a new stack where each element has been
copied. Copying is performed by the supplied <code>copyfunc()</code> and freeing by
<code>freefunc()</code>. The function <code>freefunc()</code> is only called if an error occurs.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="notes">NOTES</a></h1>
<p>Care should be taken when accessing stacks in multi-threaded environments.
Any operation which increases the size of a stack such as <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_insert</strong>()
or <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_push</strong>() can &quot;grow&quot; the size of an internal array and cause race
conditions if the same stack is accessed in a different thread. Operations such
as <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_find</strong>() and <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_sort</strong>() can also reorder the stack.</p>
<p>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 <em>a</em> is equal to, greater than
or less than <em>b</em> respectively.</p>
<p>Care should be taken when checking the return values of the functions
<strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_find</strong>() and <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_find_ex</strong>(). They return an index to the
matching element. In particular <strong>0</strong> indicates a matching first element.
A failed search is indicated by a <strong>-1</strong> return value.</p>
<p><code>STACK_OF()</code>, <code>DEFINE_STACK_OF()</code>, <code>DEFINE_STACK_OF_CONST()</code>, and
<code>DEFINE_SPECIAL_STACK_OF()</code> are implemented as macros.</p>
<p>The underlying utility <strong>OPENSSL_sk_</strong> API should not be used directly.
It defines these functions: <code>OPENSSL_sk_deep_copy()</code>,
<code>OPENSSL_sk_delete()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_delete_ptr()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_dup()</code>,
<code>OPENSSL_sk_find()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_find_ex()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_free()</code>,
<code>OPENSSL_sk_insert()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_is_sorted()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_new()</code>,
<code>OPENSSL_sk_new_null()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_num()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_pop()</code>,
<code>OPENSSL_sk_pop_free()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_push()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_reserve()</code>,
<code>OPENSSL_sk_set()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_set_cmp_func()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_shift()</code>,
<code>OPENSSL_sk_sort()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_unshift()</code>, <code>OPENSSL_sk_value()</code>,
<code>OPENSSL_sk_zero()</code>.</p>

<h1><a name="return_values">RETURN VALUES</a></h1>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_num</strong>() returns the number of elements in the stack or <strong>-1</strong> if the
passed stack is NULL.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_value</strong>() returns a pointer to a stack element or NULL if the
index is out of range.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_new</strong>(), <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_new_null</strong>() and <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_new_reserve</strong>()
return an empty stack or NULL if an error occurs.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_reserve</strong>() returns <strong>1</strong> on successful allocation of the required
memory or <strong>0</strong> on error.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_set_cmp_func</strong>() returns the old comparison function or NULL if
there was no old comparison function.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_free</strong>(), <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_zero</strong>(), <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_pop_free</strong>() and
<strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_sort</strong>() do not return values.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_pop</strong>(), <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_shift</strong>(), <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_delete</strong>() and
<strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_delete_ptr</strong>() return a pointer to the deleted element or NULL
on error.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_insert</strong>(), <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_push</strong>() and <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_unshift</strong>() return
the total number of elements in the stack and 0 if an error occurred.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_set</strong>() returns a pointer to the replacement element or NULL on
error.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_find</strong>() and <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_find_ex</strong>() return an index to the found
element or <strong>-1</strong> on error.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_is_sorted</strong>() returns <strong>1</strong> if the stack is sorted and <strong>0</strong> if it is
not.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_dup</strong>() and <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_deep_copy</strong>() return a pointer to the copy
of the stack.</p>

<h1><a name="history">HISTORY</a></h1>
<p>Before OpenSSL 1.1.0, this was implemented via macros and not inline functions
and was not a public API.</p>
<p><strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_reserve</strong>() and <strong>sk_<em>TYPE</em>_new_reserve</strong>() were added in OpenSSL
1.1.1.</p>
