I'm fairly new to the world of C++ so I didn't know if these questions would
be better asked in this group or in comp.lang.c++.  Anyway, here goes.

1) For a variable that is declared locally to a function of a structure 
   type, is the standard new constructor executed to allocated the 
   memory for the data structure?

2) When using "new" to allocate data space for a variable of a structure 
   type (ie no constructor defined), is the resulting memory space zero'd
   out as a standard?
