From: Eric Paris Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2013 15:48:02 +0000 (-0500) Subject: audit: use memset instead of trying to initialize field by field X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e13f91e3c57986a609c10ddf94af0546a2a97dce;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git audit: use memset instead of trying to initialize field by field We currently are setting fields to 0 to initialize the structure declared on the stack. This is a bad idea as if the structure has holes or unpacked space these will not be initialized. Just use memset. This is not a performance critical section of code.
