miod 7c11123d14 Ok, there was a need for OPENSSL_cleanse() instead of bzero() to prevent supposedly smart compilers from optimizing memory cleanups away. Understood. Ok, in case of an hypothetically super smart compiler, OPENSSL_cleanse() had to be convoluted enough for the compiler not to recognize that this was actually bzero() in disguise. Understood. But then why there had been optimized assembler versions of OPENSSL_cleanse() is beyond me. Did someone not trust the C obfuscation?	10 years ago
