- # Purpose
- #
- # Run a test using the debugger to check that the mbedtls_platform_zeroize()
- # function in platform_util.h is not being optimized out by the compiler. To do
- # so, the script loads the test program at programs/test/zeroize.c and sets a
- # breakpoint at the last return statement in main(). When the breakpoint is
- # hit, the debugger manually checks the contents to be zeroized and checks that
- # it is actually cleared.
- #
- # The mbedtls_platform_zeroize() test is debugger driven because there does not
- # seem to be a mechanism to reliably check whether the zeroize calls are being
- # eliminated by compiler optimizations from within the compiled program. The
- # problem is that a compiler would typically remove what it considers to be
- # "unnecessary" assignments as part of redundant code elimination. To identify
- # such code, the compilar will create some form dependency graph between
- # reads and writes to variables (among other situations). It will then use this
- # data structure to remove redundant code that does not have an impact on the
- # program's observable behavior. In the case of mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), an
- # intelligent compiler could determine that this function clears a block of
- # memory that is not accessed later in the program, so removing the call to
- # mbedtls_platform_zeroize() does not have an observable behavior. However,
- # inserting a test after a call to mbedtls_platform_zeroize() to check whether
- # the block of memory was correctly zeroed would force the compiler to not
- # eliminate the mbedtls_platform_zeroize() call. If this does not occur, then
- # the compiler potentially has a bug.
- #
- # Note: This test requires that the test program is compiled with -g3.
