/*
 * This implementation should never be optimized out by the compiler
 *
 * This implementation for mbedtls_zeroize() was inspired from Colin Percival's
 * blog article at:
 *
 * http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2014-09-04-how-to-zero-a-buffer.html
 *
 * It uses a volatile function pointer to the standard memset(). Because the
 * pointer is volatile the compiler expects it to change at
 * any time and will not optimize out the call that could potentially perform
 * other operations on the input buffer instead of just setting it to 0.
 * Nevertheless, as pointed out by davidtgoldblatt on Hacker News
 * (refer to http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2014-09-05-erratum.html for
 * details), optimizations of the following form are still possible:
 *
 * if( memset_func != memset )
 *     memset_func( buf, 0, len );
 *
 * Note that it is extremely difficult to guarantee that mbedtls_zeroize()
 * will not be optimized out by aggressive compilers in a portable way. For
 * this reason, Mbed TLS also provides the configuration option
 * MBEDTLS_UTILS_ZEROIZE_ALT, which allows users to configure
 * mbedtls_zeroize() to use a suitable implementation for their platform and
 * needs.
