Thanks for your reply. I was trying to port SPEC CPU 2000 (benchmarks), and one of the tests failed. I boiled it down to the attached program. For performance reasons it could be perfectly valid not to use memset(), but I agree that the code looks a bit odd. /Kjeld -----Original Message----- From: Maciej W.

Why don't you use memset() to clear the struct in the first place? -- + Maciej W.
