Problem

mmapstorage leaks internals of the struct _Key.

Constraints

Assumptions

Considered Alternatives

• don't make Key opaque
• don't provide mmapstorage

Decision

Have versioning and memory layout checks¹ of cache files written by mmapstorage. The cache files get discarded if these checks fail.

Rationale

See Implications.

Implications

• will also discard cache files from different architectures
• representation of struct _Key can be changed as wanted

Notes

¹ A KeySet with known content gets written and mmapstorage checks if this KeySet was restored correctly.
