ISTR the C standard says things get initted to zero in this case too ... and that compilers will as a rule use memset to do it. One could look at the generated code to make sure of that. There's certainly a fair amount of code I've seen that uses runtime initializers like that, to zero memory. I can't believe i's _all_ broken! ;) - Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
