RE: [lwip-devel] [bug #20254] Initializing static/global variables

[Julian Gardner [RSD]]

So what about removing all the extra 

xxxx = 0; 
xxxx = NULL;

for all globals and static variables, if there are any?

These should be taken care of the the compiler clearing the BSS on
startup, well all the compilers I use work this way.

Should not make the code any larger

Also change static tables to const tables (sockets.c) moves data that is
only read into the rom data section, no more wasted ram

BAD!!!

That's my opinion, too. I'm only looking at the summary of this and
think
maybe we can reduce binary size. If we don't want that or it doesn't
save
anything, we can close this. I certainly wouldn't change anything
because of
a broken compiler!
