As far as I know, I doesn't:
#include <iostream>
void main()
{
int *x;
cout << x << endl;
x = NULL;
cout << x << endl;
}
this program indeed produces the following output:
0xbfffeab8
(nil)
So x is essentially random before the first assignment.
The same holds for other simple data types like int.
Only for classes, one of the constructors is called upon declaration
of the variable.
best regards,
Andre
