Wondering if these two function accomplish the same task or not? Just wanted to clarify before I run into possible problems down the road.
ZeroMemory( &d3dpp,sizeof(d3dpp));
equivalent to
memset(&d3dpp, 0, sizeof(d3dpp));
???????
thnx for any clarification.
yes, they do
I'm not sure, but I think I remember ZeroMemory being a macro containing a memset.

It is, on 32 bit system. winnt.h contains a line like
#define ZeroMemory(p, sz) memset((p), 0, (sz))
All the buzzt!

memset() is far more portable than the other one.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Thanks for the info...
I decided to go with memset() as I had used it before, but considering the examples showed ZeroMemory() I was unsure if I was messing something up...
good to know they are the same and I can stick with memset().
