Title
Body
gcc 4.4.4 C89 I am just wondering what most C programmers do when they want to zero out memory. For example, I have a buffer of 1024 bytes. Sometimes I do this: char buffer[1024] = {0}; Which will zero all bytes. However, should I declare it like this and use memset? char buffer[1024]; . . memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer)); Is there any real reason you have to zero the memory? What is the worst that can happen by not doing it?
