^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is much more error-prone
than sizeof(*f) IMHO.
I also prefer bzero().
bzero --> memset changes are done to ease portability ...
On another BSD such replacements were done for performance but then
they discovered it was their bzero that was broken.
Removal of the space after sizeof is another regression. KNF disallows
the space, but indent's style is very far from KNF. It isn't clear if
indent's style is to require the space, since old versions of indent
never used sizeof(typename), and 'sizeof object' requires the space.
Regressions started in r93440 with sizeof(object) in an nitems() expansion.
OK ... that was in 2002.
We are using nitems() now, which undoes the portability meant to be
brought by memset. OTOH, using sys/param.h is implicit permission
to use nitems() and may involve other portability issues already.
Can't keep everybody happy.
Pedro.
