Actually, you don't, you only need to pass it the address to a char*
(that's what a char** is). This code snippet (which is your code
snippet that crashes with a small change) is sufficient:
------------------------------
long read;
char* data = NULL;
read = BIO_get_mem_data(bio, &data);
// Use data and read values.
BIO_reset(bio);
------------------------------
