The function prototype for memset () is: void *memset (void *dest, int c, size_t count); What the compiler _should_ gripe about and what it _does_ can, I suppose, be argued (not by me, however, I'm out of my league). However, when I declared the argument types in the definition using new-style, the compiler quit complaining.
