Hi all,
Some "getter" methods (eg. X509_get_pubkey) return a new instance (or
incrementing the ref count) of the returned object and some do not (eg.
X509_get_issuer_name).
I find myself having to check out the actual implementations of every
"getter" method I am caling to ensure if I need to do a *_free on the
returned object.
Is there a general guideline on which "getter" methods return new
instances (or inc ref), and which do not?
