Re: [AC21.5] segfault during compilation

Marcus Crestani <crestani(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de&gt; writes: This change will probably not fix any bug. In C, '\0' is another way to spell 0, and in C++ '\0' will be cast to 0 anyway, since memset's second argument is int. Not that I'm against the change -- using '\0' makes the *intention* a bit clearer -- but it should be applied with understanding that it doesn't resolve any real problem. This shouldn't be necessary unless init_mc_allocator is called twice (which it shouldn't be, judging by the comments and the code). A global variable is 0-initialized by default and calling memset doesn't accomplish anything. Also note that in XEmacs you can spell the above memset as: xzero (mc_allocator_globals);
