Ok, I didn't know that, thanks for pointing it out. And yet, this is not the point - the point is that this code is complicated enough as it is so why not make the easy things trivial so that people looking at it months or even years from now can still try to understand it. So what it is defined by the standard?! Just add that line anyway! Then there's no need to go check what was meant. This way it is *there*, *explicit* and everyone *knows* what is meant - even people who don't sleep with C99std under their pillow. It is not like we're saving code since the mov $0 gets issued by the compiler anyway when it is on the stack: movq $0, -48(%rbp) #, info movq $0, -40(%rbp) #, info movq $0, -32(%rbp) #, info movq $0, -24(%rbp) #, info Thanks. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
