Title: strset
Post by: Robert on October 04, 2007, 10:47:58 AM

Hi Pelle:

I would like to request that the strset and strnset functions be added to the Pelle's C compiler.

Thank you

Robert Wishlaw

in standard C-99 there is no strset() and no strnset(). use memset() instead.

strset() would make no sense. strxxx functions always works with \0 terminated strings. memset() fills a memory region with a byte value. which meaning should strset() do?

Hey Diddl:

Thank you for the suggestion,  memset() is good. I withdraw my request.
