1466 :: Is memset in the standard lib

  I found mempy exposed as copyMem, but I couldn't find memset. I may just be tired, but if someone could tell me where to look, it would be much appreciated.

  This is the error I receive:

  Error: undeclared identifier: 'memset'

  I'm on v11.2

  Kind Regards,

  T

  It isn't present in the standard lib

  You'll have to declare it using importc: "memset" or take a look into strutils

  Instead we have system.zeroMem which is safer since there is no possibility to accidentically swap size and value.
