I see that most of the examples use new. I wrote my code to not use new: AES::Encryption aesEncryption((const byte *)encKey.constData(), AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH);
CFB_Mode<AES>::Encryption e; e.SetKeyWithIV((const byte *)encKey.constData(), 16, (const byte*)iv.constData()); FileSink sink((const char *)outFilename.toLocal8Bit().constData()); StreamTransformationFilter aes_enc(e, &sink); FileSource src((const char *)inFilename.toLocal8Bit().constData(), true, &aes_enc); My code crashes. with the message "pointer being freed was not allocated" Indeed it was not allocated. But why is cryptopp attempting to mange memory that it did not allocate? I always thought you _only_ manage the memory for objects you allocate, because you'll wind up in this exact situation. I figured that the example code would leak 2 objects. ex: StringSource s(cipher, true, new HexEncoder(new StringSink(encoded) ) ); but that this was ok because it was just a demo. What do I need to learn about cryptopp's memory management? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Crypto++ Users" Google Group.
