Using memset on local arrays before exiting the function is pointless.
Compilator will remove this code. Also for local arrays is preferable to
use {0} instead of memset. Mistakes are often made when working with
memset.
Well actually memset is preferred when working with structures which are
given to the hardware parser because {0} won't initialize paddings.
Not that I'd know anything that's going on here... but it sure seems
strange to me to be passing unpacked structures where the padding might
matter to a "hardware parser".

Well to me it is an absolute miracle why the heck compilers don't initialize paddings.

We had so many ups moments over the years and I really don't see why it should be more optimal to do this.

Anyway, the memset() is used intentionally here and I don't really want to change it. What we could do is removing the second superfluous memset and use sizeof() instead of hard coding the size.

BR,
Jani.


So please don't use {0} in any of the atom bios code.

Christian.
