Hello,

  Just wanted to know if there is some
  FillChar (StaticData, SizeOf (StaticData), 0); in program startup
  procedure exists... Just wanted to get rid of my own FillChar's and
  "v:=0, v:=false" type things in unit initializations. BTW, if this
  "global" FillChar () is implemented then it removes my problems with
  interdependencies. :)

Best regards,
Aleksey

I think all global variables are zeroed out at program startup.

Michael.

1) All uninitialized global data is always zeroed out at startup, as fas as I know.

2) FPC supports (in Delphi mode) Initialized variables. Declare your variables as

Var
  V : Boolean = False;

this way they are initialized correctly at program startup.

If you don't want to use Delphi mode, you can use

Const
  V : Boolean = False;

Which acts as a initialized variable.

Michael.

The program loader does zero the BSS section. It's a prerequiste for the compiler else we'll implement it ourselves.
