i sent the following message to freebsd-quaestions@ and got no answer. mybe it
is better suited for freebsd-hackers@.
hi there,
i found hundreds of the following cases in the FreeBSD src:
[...]
struct periph_driver {
periph_init_func_t init;
char *driver_name;
TAILQ_HEAD(,cam_periph) units;
u_int generation;
u_int flags;
#define CAM_PERIPH_DRV_EARLY 0x01
};
[...]
static struct periph_driver dadriver =
{
dainit, "da",
TAILQ_HEAD_INITIALIZER(dadriver.units), /* generation */ 0
};
...is it proper programming practice to forget about the last field, if it
would have been initialised to 0?
cheers.
alex
