Subject: util/crypt: Add macro for max base64encode len
X-Git-Tag: suricata-6.0.1~8
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=02942a123a525bb1ed97bba9242f1e08d54f0fb8;p=thirdparty%2Fsuricata.git

util/crypt: Add macro for max base64encode len

Maximum length of a base64 encoded string can be 33% over the actual
length of the input string. The formula to best cover all the edge cases
is mathematically
(4 * (input_length + 2) / 3) + 1

Add a macro to calculate this for a given input length.
