<p class="MsoNormal">I want to change the memory alloc/debug things.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Right now there are several undocumented functions to allow you to swap-out the malloc/realloc/free routines, wrappers that call those routines, debug versions of those wrappers, and functions to set the set-options versions of those functions.
Yes, really <span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span> Is anyone using that stuff?<o:p></o:p></p>

found at <a href="https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/450">https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/450</a><o:p></o:p></p>
