I'm getting some memory leaks when I use OpenSSL. I was not able to get rid
of these leaks, even when I use EVP_cleanup() and ERR_free_strings() at the
end of my program.
Memory Leak 1. PEM_read_PrivateKey()
=====================================
EVP_PKEY* key = PEM_read_PrivateKey(fp, NULL, 0, NULL);
...
EVP_PKEY_free(key);
Valgrind reports:
==27769== 24 bytes in 1 blocks are still reachable in loss record 2 of
20

Memory Leak 2. SSL_library_init()
=================================
Valgrind reports:
==27769== 24 bytes in 1 blocks are still reachable in loss record 6 of
20

Memory Leak 3. HMAC_Init()
==========================
HMAC_CTX hm;
HMAC_Init(&hm, ...);
HMAC_Update(&hm, ...);
HMAC_Final(&hm, ...);
...
HMAC_cleanup(&hm);
