26*a466cc55SCy Schubert /* Making a portable memcmp that has no internal branches and loops always
27*a466cc55SCy Schubert  * once for every byte without early-out shortcut has a few challenges.
28*a466cc55SCy Schubert  *
29*a466cc55SCy Schubert  * Inspired by 'timingsafe_memcmp()' from the BSD system and
30*a466cc55SCy Schubert  * https://github.com/libressl-portable/openbsd/blob/master/src/lib/libc/string/timingsafe_memcmp.c

32*a466cc55SCy Schubert  * Sadly, that one is not portable C: It makes assumptions on the representation
33*a466cc55SCy Schubert  * of negative integers and assumes sign-preserving right-shift of negative
34*a466cc55SCy Schubert  * signed values. This is a rewrite from scratch that should not suffer from
35*a466cc55SCy Schubert  * such issues.
