I have learned Qianfeng's patch and comments. I understand what you
mean is change my patch coding style to Qianfeng's, modify 'memset' to
'{}' for initialization, and amend Qianfeng's patch as patch-2, then
send this two patches together.

If I misunderstood your opinion, please correct me, thank you very
much.
