Module secmem_alloc::zeroizing_alloc

An allocator zeroizing memory on deallocation.

This module contains a wrapper for any memory allocator to zeroize memory before deallocation. This allows use both as a GlobalAlloc and as Allocator.

This is safer than zeroizing your secret objects on drop because the allocator approach also zeroizes old memory when the object is only moved in memory but not dropped. This can happen for example when resizing Vecs.
