Hi,
personally I don't like the new code; memset only takes a byte as argument and while it probably is the same, that is now implicit behavior and no longer explicit. A reasonably good compiler will notice it's the same and generate the best code anyway, so I would really really suggest to go for the best readable code, which imo is the original code.
Greetings, Arjan van de Ven
