IIUC, it's GCC 8 which starts the support of __nonstring__ attribute.

Fix pushed by: rG1ed8b0e7b403: dirmngr: Fix libdns with 127.0.0.1.

For Linux kernel, once, it was proposed:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/patch/1490748756.24891.27.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com/

Another problem with same cause (possibly) is reported: https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2025-April/035845.html

Pushed all changes to master.

OK. Relying on SQLite semantics for COLLATE NOCASE would not be good.
Exactly same existing semantics (only care about ASCII uppercase characters) is good.

I changed my mind. SQLite specific patch might be better:

Here is a possible change:

I applied some to master (generic improvement parts).

I think that this may be the last update.
Don't use mpi_powm to avoid normalizing (and to be faster).

IIUC, the address is stored with lowercase, but searching is done not converting lowercase.

Here is another update (replacing ecc-no-normalize-2025-03-13.patch).
Further, ec_addm is modified to be less leaky.

There are three (or more) remaining things:
(1) ec_addm can be improved by adding U and V with mpih_add_lli , subtracting P with mpih_sub_n, and adding back P with mpih_add_n_cond
(2) Places with mpi_const for the argument when calling ec_mulm, ec_add or ec_subm should be fixed (it may modify the const MPI)
(3) make sure mpi_resize within ec_addm, ec_mulm, or ec_subm if needed

Here is update (replacing ecc-no-normalize-2025-03-07.patch).
ec_subm and ec_mulm are modified to be less leaky.

GCC allows dollars in identifier, that's the reason why we haven't encountered this issue, I suppose.

Thank you for your report.

I think that major signal sources for K have been killed so far.

We should only enable least leak implementation for 64-bit, as it's not as fast on 32-bit architecture.

One more change for _gcry_dsa_gen_k in rC54caef02afa9: cipher:(EC)DSA: Simply use mpi_clear_highbit in _gcry_dsa_gen_k.

One more change for mpi_invm in rCc1da86e45a6e: mpi: Avoid normalizing MPI in _gcry_mpi_invm.

All changes are pushed to master.

Pushed the changes by the commit rC2039d93289db: mpi: Add MPI helper modular exponentiation, Least Leak Intended.

Use of mpi_cmp is now being fixed, by providing _gcry_mpih_cmp_lli function.
Along with that, we need to fix use of mpi_cmp_ui, since it's skips earlier depending its limbs.

And then, we need to use less leaky version of mpi_cmp (because mpi_cmp calls mpi_normalize, it's not good).

And this is for less leak for _gcry_dsa_modify_k:

This is needed before we remove leaks by mpi_add in _gcry_dsa_modify_k :

Commit rC35a6a6feb9dc: Fix _gcry_dsa_modify_k. is related, but it doesn't matter for usual compilers (it's an issue for MSVC).

This is needed for RFC6979 flag support.
