RS> I believe Wes added the copy function, so I'll let him answer this one... The copy function, I believe, I added because the DTLS transport creates an initial transport object and then "forks it" to create a new one with new information in it in order to get around the DTLS bugs in OpenSSL. So, could we use reference counting? Maybe. I'd have to do analysis to figure it out. But the better question: can we assume reference counting for every transport, including those we haven't thought of yet? Probably not. However, it'd be a nice feature to have in the way of a flag to indicate which style to use. For DTLS, I actually can't remember if the data is changed or not. -- Wes Hardaker Please mail all replies to net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.
