Xin LI c9f30aaaf7 When allocating memory, zero out them if we don't intend to overwrite them 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).		2009-03-28 04:00:46 +00:00
