[Dev-C++] Stress with structs and pointers.

[David M. <ci...@ya...>]

Ok, I need some clarification on a couple topics invloving pointers and pointers.
 
1) when a struct is created. All that can be assumed is that it contains trash right? What is a portable way to initalize everything to 0? mset?
 
2) when a structure contains a pointer. Access to the address (not the value) comes in the form {struct_variable_name}.{member_name}?
 
3) how do you de-refrence the pointer in #2 to get the value of the variable? {struct_variable_name}.*{member_name}?
 
4) if you have a pointer to the structure you access the members via '->'. If a member of the structure is a pointer the address is gotten via {struct_varible_name}->{member_name}? If so how does one get the value of the varible? {struct_variable_name}->*{member_name}?
 
Thanks in Advance
