[C++][Alchemy][F10]Faster ways to clear a bitmap?

[tariqm]

Thanks Unknownguy.
This could actually work. Especially if I want to clear my array to 0.
Even if I use char(byte) I can still set every byte to 0, thereby clearing all my pixels to a 100% transparent black.
Will definitely work for a clear to transparent black, which is mainly what I use.

Will do my own tests with this function.

Wonder what that function actually does though. Accesses some even low level commands than C?

Edit
--------
Just did a test and the memset is actually drastically slowing down my program. And it's setting a pretty large chunk of memory. A 250000 long int array. According to the doc testing, the larger the array, the more speed gained when using memset, instead of a for loop. But I'm getting really slow results.
