    calloc and realloc

    Hey everyone,

    I'm using calloc to allocate memory and initialize each block in that memory to 0. If I call realloc sometime later to allocate more space, how can I make sure that all the blocks in the extra space are also initialized to 0?

    Look up memset().
    Right 98% of the time, and don't care about the other 3%.

    If I seem grumpy or unhelpful in reply to you, or tell you you need to demonstrate more effort before you can expect help, it is likely you deserve it. Suck it up, Buttercup, and read this, this, and this before posting again.
