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
