[ROOT] pointers initialisation problems

Hello all,

since version 3.0 of ROOT, I have noticed that a pointer on something
is not 0 when declared :
Double_t *b;
b is not 0

before, it was 0, and became different only when allocated :
b=Double_t[4]
for example

is it due to C++ libs used for compilation ?
is it a normal feature of the compilator (and a bonus due to previous root
versions?)
It occurs only for compilated libraries, not with the interpreter


Thanks
