Hey,
So I have been coding in SourcePawn for a while now, however I have never realized whether or not you need to set a handle equal to null when you define it as a global handle.

Here is what I mean:

Defining a handle and setting it equal to null:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>

ConVar g_cvConVar = null; 


Defining a handle without setting it equal to null:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>

ConVar g_cvConVar; 


When you define a global handle, do you need to set it equal to null, or does defining it automatically set it equal to null?

Thanks!

Declarations will default initialize to null, some people prefer to be explicit about it.
