/// compares two slices of memory content and returns an integer indicating the relationship between
/// the slices
///
/// ## Returns
/// - <0 if the first byte that does not match both slices has a lower value in `a` than in `b`
/// - 0 if the contents are equal
/// - >0 if the first byte that does not match both slices has a higher value in `a` than in `b`
///
/// ## Leaks
/// If the two slices have differents lengths, the function will return immediately. This
/// effectively leaks the information whether the slices have equal length or not. This is widely
/// considered safe.
///
/// The execution time of the function grows approx. linear with the length of the input. This is
/// considered safe.
///
/// ## Tests
/// For discussion on how to ensure the constant-time execution of this function, see
/// <https://github.com/rosenpass/rosenpass/issues/232>
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// use rosenpass_constant_time::compare;
/// let a = [0, 1, 0, 0];
/// let b = [0, 0, 0, 1];
/// assert_eq!(-1, compare(&a, &b));
/// assert_eq!(0, compare(&a, &a));
/// assert_eq!(1, compare(&b, &a));
/// ```
///
/// # Panic
///
/// This function will panic if the input arrays are of different lengths.
///
/// ```should_panic
/// use rosenpass_constant_time::compare;
/// let a = [0, 1, 0];
/// let b = [0, 0, 0, 1];
/// compare(&a, &b);
/// ```
