The C code that follows: ... old_val = fxsr.buff[50]; fxsr.buff[50] ^= 0x0013c0de; ... fxsr.buff[50] = old_val; ... new_val = fxsr.buff[50]; fxsr.buff[50] = old_val; ... uses only fxsr.buff[50], so IMHO it's enough to initialize only the value of this element. > My approach would be: > > memset (fxsr.buff, 0, sizeof (fxsr.buff)); > > What do you think? It won't hurt but probably superfluous. _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
