[lldb-dev] ::bzero "obsolete", recommended to be replaced

[Sean Callanan]

Kirk,

whoa, you're right; it looks like bzero() has been moved to the "Legacy Option" in the Single UNIX Specification as of v3 (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r10/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.r10.bpxbd00/rbzero.htm) and might be deprecated one day.

memset() seems like a fine replacement to me.
