What is the difference between _mem_alloc() and _mem_alloc_zero()?

[parkjaeyeon]

Hello.

I use K60 MCU with MQX.

I wonder what is the difference between _mem_alloc() and _mem_alloc_zero()..

Ask for answers.

Thanks.

Have a good day~.

The zero function fills the allocated space with zeros... akin to doing a memset.  Without it you get the space but it isn't initialized.
