Subject: Anyone have a secure 'free' API?


I'm wondering if anyone has an API which does memset followed by free to
clear sensitive data from the heap after use as compilers will simply
drop a call to memset before free these days. Linux has kfree_sensitive
and memzero_explicit APIs, I'm wondering if anyone on this list has a C
library exposing something like this for applications?
