Philipp Moritz commented on ARROW-664:
--------------------------------------
Thanks [~wesmckinn], I created a PR https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/405
I made zero-initialization the default (it also seems to be the default for the
other builders), let me know if you prefer it to be optional. Is there a reason
why it is not already done?

> In C++ arrow it can currently occur that uninitialized data created by the
> builders is written to IPC memory. The goal of this issue is to identify
> these cases and set the memory to zero.
> Note that most of these cases have already been identified by valgrind and
> fixed in the past.
> Some of the considerations and benefits are discussed in this github PR:
