/*
* This implementation should never be optimized out by the compiler
*
* This implementation for mbedtls_zeroize() uses a volatile function pointer.
* We always know that it points to memset(), but because it 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, 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.
