How about this:

int f(int x)
{
    int a[4][5];

    memset((char *) a, 0, sizeof a);
}

int g(int x)
{
    int a[4][5];

    memset((char *) *a, 0, sizeof a);
}

int h(int x)
{
    int a[4][5];

    memset((char *) &a[0][0], 0, sizeof a);
}

I put the cast there on purpose.  I'm not sure exactly what my point
was, but you are welcome to discuss the case without the cast.

Are any of these different in terms of working?
