From the answers so far, may be I didn't explain my problem very well :(

The main point is that I have a member (a var) which I don't want to
initialize in the constructor. So, the compiler warns me of that.
What is the best practice to "clean" that warning message for that
particular member?

Not important, btw, the reasons I don't want to initialize it are:
1. It is not needed;
2. That member is an external structure that depends on the OS.

I could do for example:
memset((void *)&foo,0,sizeof(foo));
or, better
memset((void *)&foo,0,0);
1. How do I do this, in a more c++ way?
2. Is there a better way to fool the compiler without doing anything?

Thanks.
