#0x39: PCT: Poolp Crypto Toolkit
Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:02 GMT+1, gilles@

I have renamed the nbpg project into PCT, which stands for Poolp Crypto Toolkit.

Not so many visible improvements, I did quite a bit of cleanup and wrote a small allocator which relies on mmap() and will help me spot bugs and general memory usage. It also allows for a complete wipe of allocated chunks preventing informations leak in case of a memory leak or in case a *common* error path is followed.

[...]
p1 = pctalloc(1, sizeof(*p));
p2 = pctalloc(1, sizeof(*p));
p3 = pctalloc(1, sizeof(*p));
p4 = pctalloc(1, sizeof(*p));

pctfree(p1); // zeroes and releases p1
pctwipe(); // zeroes and releases ALL allocated chunks
