memset for initialization in C++
- by skydoor
memset is sometimes used to initialize data in a constructor like the example below. Does it work in general ? Is it a good idea in general?
class A {
public:
A();
private:
int a;
float f;
char str[35];
long *lp;
};
A::A()
{
memset(this, 0, sizeof(*this));
}
