+ * This implementation should never be optimized out by the compiler
+ *
+ * This implementation for mbedcrypto_platform_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
+ * mbedcrypto_platform_zeroize() will not be optimized out by aggressive compilers
+ * in a portable way. For this reason, Mbed Crypto also provides the configuration
+ * option MBEDCRYPTO_PLATFORM_ZEROIZE_ALT, which allows users to configure
+ * mbedcrypto_platform_zeroize() to use a suitable implementation for their
+ * platform and needs.
