Hi all,

In C local variables are not initialised.
In C local structs are therefore often initialised with a macro like:
 
ZeroMemory(&my_struct, sizeof(MY_STRUCT));

How about Component Pascal? Are local variables, records (untagged) in
Component Pascal initialised to zero by default?

Thanks for your replies,
Philipp
