Note: originally filed by @robinkrahl as iqlusioninc/crates#509

I have to store a password that will be passed to a C API using the Rust FFI. To avoid unnecessary copies, I store it as a std::ffi::CString. But as Zeroize is not implemented for CString, I can’t wrap this field in a Secret.

Could you please add a Zeroize implementation for CString?

Implement Zeroize for std::ffi::CString (RustCrypto#650)

This implements Zeroize for std::ffi::CString. As CString is not in
allocate but in std, a new optional std feature is added to depend
on the std library.
