Summary
A previous PR (#105) replaced the instances of memset with memset_s or SecureZeroMemory because there's a chance that compiler may remove these calls during optimization. However, this PR will break builds with compilers that do not have memset_s.
memset_swas introduced in C11, but it is flagged as optional and many compilers like GCC do not implement this.For the time being, this commit will re-introduce memset if
memset_sis not implemented in the compiler by checking__STDC_LIB_EXT1__and defining__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__before the needed imports. (reference: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/string/byte/memset).This commit also removes the changes in the unit test.
memsetshould be safe in the unit tests. (previous implementaiton caused 2 unit tests to fail, (not ok 9 - result-conversions test output differs``not ok 40 - diagnostic test) because it used memset with a non-zero value.Testing
Built on:
Ran regression test on Windows and tests had same results as mainline prior to 105
