Proper Way To Initialize Unsigned Char*
c, c++, char, unsigned
Solution
The second method will leave you with a null pointer. Note that you aren't declaring any space for a buffer here, you're declaring a pointer to a buffer that must be created elsewhere. If you initialize it to `""`, that will make the pointer point to a static buffer with exactly one byte—the null terminator. If you want a buffer you can write characters into later, use Fred's array suggestion or something like `malloc`.
Problem
What is the proper way to initialize `unsigned char*`? I am currently doing this: ``` unsigned char* tempBuffer; tempBuffer = ""; ``` Or should I be using `memset(tempBuffer, 0, sizeof(tempBuffer));` ?
