/*
Simple problem -
How do you initialize memory malloced for a structure without using calloc,
and without initilizing each structure element explicitly?
Example --
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>
struct foo{
int a;
long b;
char c[80];
double d;
};
main()
{
struct foo *fooptr;
if ( (fooptr=(struct foo *)malloc(sizeof(struct foo))) == NULL){
puts("Malloc Bombed");
exit(-1);
}
func(fooptr);
}
func(fooptr)
struct foo *fooptr;
{
struct foo *fp2;
for(fp2=fooptr; fp2 < fooptr + sizeof(struct foo); fp2++)
*fp2=NULL; /* Error - incompatible types */
}
