[PATCH] trivial: the memset operation on a automatic arrayvariable should be optimized out by data initialization

From: Denis Cheng

From: Denis Cheng <crquan@xxxxxxxxx>

the explicit memset call could be optimized out by data initialization,
thus all the fill working can be done by the compiler implicitly.
