in thread extra .c file in .xs module building

Do you (or anyone) know if memclr is deprecated in favor of memset?

I don't have memclr available on my Ubuntu system, while memset is part of the C89 and C99 standards.

    Found a online dialog from some years ago where a smart young programmer told an old programmer like me "There is no memclr! Where did you hear of such an thing?". memclr was so long ago that it was limited to 256 bytes. Who would need to clear more memory than that? ;-)
