Alan M. Carroll commented on TS-1120:
-------------------------------------
Examples:
@code
foo bar; // value.
ink_zero(bar); // zero bar.
foo *bar; // pointer.
ink_zero(bar); // WRONG - makes the pointer @a bar zero.
ink_zero(*bar); // zero what bar points at.
foo bar[ZOMG]; // Array of structs.
ink_zero(bar); // Zero all structs in array.
foo *bar[ZOMG]; // array of pointers.
ink_zero(bar); // zero all pointers in the array.
@endcode
> Use ink_zero / ats_zero instead of calling memset when zeroing a variable or
> member.

> We have an inline template, ink_zero(foo) which does "memset(&foo, 0,
> sizeof(foo))". Because this is easy to mess up with a typo, the inline
> template should be used for safety and clarity. Also, the template should be
> renamed "ats_zero" to be consistent.
