From e13f91e3c57986a609c10ddf94af0546a2a97dce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2013 10:48:02 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
