Subject: [PATCH 0/8] replace memset by memzero_explicit
Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2014 18:03:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1417367029-32762-1-git-send-email-Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> (raw)

Memset on a local variable may be removed when it is called just before the
variable goes out of scope.  Using memzero_explicit defeats this
optimization.  The complete semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
