> Why not explicit_memset() consttime_memcmp()? memset() and memcmp()'s semantics both don't fit too well: The former forces to carry that mostly useless fill pattern argument around, which could be in the way of optimization. memcmp() promises to be usable for alphabetical sorting which would make a constant-time algorithm needlessly complicated and is not of use for the intended applications.
