Use the
crypt_r
library function instead ofcrypt
when available (currently Linux and FreeBSD) to avoid using static shared libc data structures.Motivation: This fixes a memory sanitizer failure due to it not understanding libc crypt()'s preallocated space.
We could release the GIL around the
crypt_r
call, but it is such a fast function anyways that seems rather silly. Do that in a followup PR if desired.https://bugs.python.org/issue28503
