Adding such a feature has been on my list for a long time. However, I've
deferred adding it because it's something that developers can easly add to
their own applications:
#if ERROR_CHECK_LEVEL == ERROR_CHECK_FULL
#define MemHandleNew(size) MyMemHandleNew(size)
VoidHand MyMemHandleNew (UInt32 size)
{
VoidHand result = MemHandleNew (size);
FillHandleWithGarbage (result);
return result;
}
#endif
This can work better than what Poser can provide, as the application
developer knows better what consitutes "garbage". On the downside, it's
slower than anything Poser could do with "native" code (as opposed to
emulated code).

Subject: Re: POSE not emulating Device
Mike,
Thanks sounds kinda likely. From my recollection, old versions of Palm OS
(pre 3) zeroed memory, so you didn't need to worry about initialising
things
if you wanted them to default to 0. OS 3+ doesn't guarantee anything about
the state of the memory that you are given, so explicitly setting zero is A
Good Thing(tm). Maybe POSE is (um) being nice and always giving you zero'd
memory?
Keith, maybe that's a thing you could have as an option? "Initialise
allocated memory blocks with rubbish".
Seeya,
David
