   memset_s() is part of ISO C Annex K, which is optional.  glibc, for   
   example, doesn't currently provide either, though it does provide   
   explicit_bzero().   
      
   TLDR: There are currently several different C solutions with varying   
   levels of support.  Until then, a creepy maze of #ifdefs is probably   
   the best we can do.
