OPENSSL_NO_BUF_FREELISTS
As far as I remember the post-heartbleed discussions this disables an
openssl-own memory management which in the case of heartbleed
circumvented memory protection measures like address sanitizer.
What's the plan here? Replace openssl's own memory management by
default with "standard" memory management calls or is the plan to
disable the possibility to have standard memory management at all?
If the latter I'd vote against removing that flag.
I think It needs be replaced by standard memory managment, whoever wants
to do something special like using a different/tweaked allocator for
whatever reason should use the operating system facilities to do so.
Inordinate amounts of time have been spent improving things at this
level, at least in linux BUF_FREELISTS functionality makes no sense
whatsover.
