Code:
char x[10]={0x0};

According to C99 standard all of the 10 elements of x are set to zero. Unless you are using ancient Solaris compilers or something.... try it with this junk code in debug mode:
edit: see para 21 in section 6.7.8 of C99 standards.
Code:
void foo(void)
{
    int b[3]={0};
    char c[4]={0x0};
	/* this point */
}

int main()
{ 
    foo(); 
    return 0;
}

break on the line # for /* this point */
