[Resolved]memset problems

i sometimes get strange results when i try to use memset to initialize an array. if i have something like memset(arr,0,___) sometimes it doesnt initilize anything, and sometimes it initializes to strange values. what should the third parameter be? something like sizeof(int)*arraysize if my array is int?

memset(arr, 0, sizeof(arr)) works for me ...

as far as i know,

Code: Select all

memset(arr,0,sizeof(arr))

works when the memory allocation is static.

Code: Select all

memset(arr,0,sizeof(datatype)*arraysize)

should work for both static and dynamic allocation of memory.
