No luck (there isn't such insruction). On the other hand, the output of this program [^] confirms my assumption. See also Sandip's post [^]. I should admit I was very surprised by such a behaviour. :)

Visual C++ is not what a decent programmer call a standard compliant compiler, Sir !

[My articles]and what about {0} instead of {7}, and in Release Mode, not in Debug Mode ?

See my added remark here [^]. BTW my tests were of course performed both in
Debugand theReleasemode. ;P :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

Same results for both
0and7. This is why I only do it when setting things to0. I usememset()otherwise."Love people and use things, not love things and use people." - Unknown

IMHO such a discrepancy would be too gross, even for
VC6. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

[My articles]yes, probably, but it's not *THE* compiler to test the standard ! ;) ;P

0 works fine.
It is just a side-effect of default (int) initialization: you're actually initializing only the first array item. Try the following code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;struct MyStruct
{
MyStruct():_i(-1), _j(0),_k(-1){ }
MyStruct(int a):_i(a), _j(a), _k(a){ }
int _i,_j,_k;
};void main()
{
int i;
MyStruct a[5] = {0};
for (i=0; i<5; i++)
{
cout << i << ") {" << a[i]._i << ", " << a[i]._j <<", " << a[i]._k << "}" << endl;
}

The above is a wise approach. :)
