Agreed in this case.

I would just be worried that this memzero_explicit implementation is assumed
to be protected against optimization when used elsewhere since other
implementations of memzero_explicit are provided with the goal to be protected
against optimizations.

What speaks against the common memzero_explicit implementation? If you cannot
use it, what about adding a barrier in the memzero_explicit implementation? Or
what about adding some compiler magic as attached to this email?
