28897be3a4Schristos /* Making a portable memcmp that has no internal branches and loops always
29897be3a4Schristos  * once for every byte without early-out shortcut has a few challenges.
30897be3a4Schristos  *
31897be3a4Schristos  * Inspired by 'timingsafe_memcmp()' from the BSD system and

34897be3a4Schristos  * Sadly, that one is not portable C: It makes assumptions on the representation
35897be3a4Schristos  * of negative integers and assumes sign-preserving right-shift of negative
36897be3a4Schristos  * signed values. This is a rewrite from scratch that should not suffer from
37897be3a4Schristos  * such issues.
