This option allows to test the constant-flow nature of selected code, using
MemSan and the fundamental observation behind ctgrind that the set of
operations allowed on undefined memory by dynamic analysers is the same as the
set of operations allowed on secret data to avoid leaking it to a local
attacker via side channels, namely, any operation except branching and
dereferencing.
(This isn't the full story, as on some CPUs some instructions have variable
execution depending on the inputs, most notably division and on some cores
multiplication. However, testing that no branch or memory access depends on
secret data is already a good start.)
