Subject: memset as memzero
Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2007 12:33:55 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070922083355.GA7226@cvg> (raw)

Hi list,

could anyone tell me why there is no official memzero function (or macros) in
the kernel. As I see a lot of  kernel parts calls for it (defying own macros
as alias to memset). Maybe there is a special reason not to do so? Actually
my suggestion is to define _one_ general macros for this.

		Cyrill
