This ensures the allocator is ready no matter when it's needed (as some STL implementations allocate in constructors -- i.e., MSVC's STL in debug builds). Using boost::call_once to guarantee thread-safe static initialization. Adding some comments describing why the change was made. Addressing deinitialization of the LockedPageManager object by initializing it in a local static initializer and adding an assert in the base's destructor.
2013-10-09Remove include of windows.h from allocators.hGavin Andresen
Create an allocators.cpp, and move all of the #ifdef WIN32 code and the #include of windows.h into it. Two motives for this cleanup: 1. I'm getting a weird error in windows.h in my smartfee branch. 2. allocators.h is included (indirectly) just about everywhere, so this should speed up Windows compiles quite a lot.

2012-11-09don't use memset() in privacy/security relevant code partsPhilip Kaufmann
As memset() can be optimized out by a compiler it should not be used in privacy/security relevant code parts. OpenSSL provides the safe OPENSSL_cleanse() function in crypto.h, which perfectly does the job of clean and overwrite data. For details see: http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0178/ - change memset() to OPENSSL_cleanse() where appropriate - change a hard-coded number from netbase.cpp into a sizeof()
2012-08-23Handle locked pages more robustly (Fixes issue #1462)Wladimir J. van der Laan
Memory locks do not stack, that is, pages which have been locked several times by calls to mlock() will be unlocked by a single call to munlock(). This can result in keying material ending up in swap when those functions are used naively. In this commit a class "LockedPageManager" is added that simulates stacking memory locks by keeping a counter per page.

I originally created a pull to replace the "COPYING" in crypter.cpp and crypter.h, but it turned out that COPYING was actually the correct file.
