void Encrypt( FileContent *pFile )
{
/* Get the key total ascii value */
DWORD asciiKeyValue;
for (DWORD i=0; i < pFile->keyLength; i++)
{
asciiKeyValue += pFile->encKey[i];
}
_tprintf(_T("[*]DEBUG The encKey ascii value is: %ld\n"), asciiKeyValue);
}
I am get an out put of 430
when DWORD asciiKeyValue
, but once DWORD asciiKeyValue = 0
is 230
which is as it should be.
Somebody has an explanation for that? Is the asciiKeyValue
variable get a random value when it hasn't assigned an explicit value ?
It doesn't "become" random. When you declare your DWORD
it has whatever was in the memory at its address before. The memory is not cleaned unless you initialise it to something (like your 0).
