all; before freeing memory, zero out them before we release it as free
heap. This will eliminate some potential information leak issue.
While there, remove the PURIFY option. There is a slight difference between
the new behavior and the old -DPURIFY behavior, with the latter initializes
memory with 0xff's. The difference between old and new approach does not
generate observable difference.
Obtained from: OpenBSD (partly).
(This is part of a larger changeset which is intended to reduce diff only,
thus some prototypes were left intact since they will be changed in the
future).
Verified with: md5(1)
adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.
Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.
Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.
Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.
Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.

Somehow, I also managed to get quite some other changes in this file at
the same time. All I did was checkout the file and made a single change.
If someone has an explanation how these PURIFFY defines got in...
