[Solved] [Q] About Dynamic Array Size char, leave old data (garbage ?)

Bacardi · **Author**

When creating dynamic array, do we need manually "clear" array before using it ?
At least, in string you still get previous data from array, if you not overwrite it.

PHP Code:


			


public void OnPluginStart()

{

    RegConsoleCmd("sm_test", test);

}



public Action test(int client, int args)

{



    int NumberOfSlots = 4;

    int SlotSize = 6;

    

    

    char[][] MyBuffer = new char[NumberOfSlots][SlotSize];

    

    // clear strings

    //for(int x = 0; x < NumberOfSlots; x++) MyBuffer[x][0] = '\0';





    for(int x = 0; x <= args && x < NumberOfSlots; x++)

    {

        GetCmdArg(x, MyBuffer[x], SlotSize);

    }

    

    

    

    for(int x = 0; x < NumberOfSlots; x++)

    {

        PrintToServer("[%i]%s", x, MyBuffer[x]);

    }







    return Plugin_Handled;

}

console output

Code:

sm_test
[0]sm_te
[1]
[2]
[3]
sm_test apina
[0]sm_te
[1]apina

What spcomp version are you using? This looks like a compiler bug.

I don't think so - I haven't been able to reproduce that.
