C memset seems to not write to every member

Question

I wrote a small coordinate class to handle both int and float coordinates.

template 
class vector2
{
public:
    vector2() { memset(this, 0, s         


        

Answer 1

dirkgently is correct. However rather that constructing x and y with 0, an explicit call to the default constructor will set intrinsic types to 0 and allow the template to be used for structs and classes with a default constructor.

template 
class vector2
{
public:
    // use initializer lists
    vector2() : x(), y() {}
    T x;
    T y;
};
