💖 ASN1_INTEGER_NEW 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the OpenSSL corner of the manual-verse, this is ASN1_INTEGER_NEW(3SSL) and it's literally just the alloc-and-free duo for ASN1_INTEGER objects 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ASN1_INTEGER_new, ASN1_INTEGER_free — the ASN1_INTEGER allocation functions, aka the "make one" and "yeet one" girlies 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <openssl/asn1.h>

ASN1_INTEGER *ASN1_INTEGER_new(void);
void ASN1_INTEGER_free(ASN1_INTEGER *a);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like. ASN1_INTEGER_new() gives you back an allocated ASN1_INTEGER structure. That's it, that's the whole job. She's brand new, she's fresh out the box, main character energy 💅

ASN1_INTEGER_free() frees up a single ASN1_INTEGER object. Just the one, babe. And here's the cute part — if the argument is NULL, nothing is done. No crash, no drama, no vibes ruined. She simply shrugs and moves on 😌

And for the lore: an ASN1_INTEGER structure is the thing representing the ASN.1 INTEGER type. iykyk ✨

🌈 RETURN VALUES 🌈

  • ASN1_INTEGER_new() — returns a valid ASN1_INTEGER structure, or NULL if an error occurred. So fr fr, always vibe check that pointer before you use it, bestie 💀
  • ASN1_INTEGER_free() — does not return a value. Nothing. Void. Silencio. She gives you nothing back and that's correct 🙈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

  • ERR_get_error(3) — for when you need to know why things went sideways, go ask her

real talk though: every allocation needs a matching free. not me letting a memory leak run around unsupervised, that's giving chaos 🚩

and that's the whole page, bestie, periodt 💖 this was OpenSSL 4.0.3, dated 2026-09-29, for ASN1_INTEGER_NEW(3SSL) — mwah, slay, go forth and allocate responsibly 🎀🦋✨
