memset() in crypto code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Doing this the crypto directory:
grep memset *.c | wc -l
I get 137 results.

The compiler may optimise memset() away, subverting the intent of
these operations. We have memzero_explicit() to avoid that problem.

Should most or all those memset() calls be replaced?
