Message: [QUOTE="Frederick Gotham, post: 2581151"] S S posted: The Standard provides no such guarantee (well I'm 99% that it doesn't) -- if you want each element to be default-initialised, you'll have to use the empty parentheses. Testing it will do you no good, as I know of at least one implementation that default-initialises new'ed memory regardless of whether you provide the empty parentheses. Anyhow, even if the empty parentheses were redundant, I would still put them in, just as how I write: int main() { static MyPOD arr[5] = {}; } instead of: int main() { static MyPOD arr[5]; } Indeed, the chain brackets are redundant because static data always gets default initialised... but nonetheless, they express clear intent.
