Hello everybody,

I would like to use memset to initialize allocated memory to zero. However it does not work as expected.

Code:
#include <acknex.h> 
#include <default.c>

void main()
{
   // allocate memory for 100 integers
   int *array = (int *)malloc(100 * sizeof(int));
	
   // initialize memory
   memset(array, 0, 100 * sizeof(int));
	
   // display int #3 on the screen (should be zero, but isn't)
   error(str_for_num(NULL, *(array + 2)));
}

In this example 'array' should be initialized to zero, but it isn't: It still contains random values.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thank you!
