Hi,

Can we assume that device specific context created for a KMDF object will be zero-initialized?

For eg. say that I registered for device-context in FileObject. Will this context area be zero-initialized?

Thanks,

Should I define FileEventCallbacks when calling WDF_FILEOBJECT_CONFIG_INIT
and do zeroing stuff withing this evt callback function? Or can I depend on WDF to do this?

KMDF zero initializes all object contexts before handing them back to the caller
