if You need to cast it when using memset it is probably
because You need to to take the address of Your record:

memset(&r, 0, sizeof(record));
at least my borland compiler never wanted me to do it.

but that can also be done like this

{
record r = {0};
//fill it
}
but if You create it with new You do need to use memset
record *r = new record();
memset(r, 0, sizeof(record));

but dont use memset or the above if Your struct contains
object like std:string
