Compiler error

[Thekid]

I'm trying to compile some C++ code and I'm getting one error that says:
Empty Character Constant. I know that's ' ' without anything in it but how do I correct this? I get many other errors when I remove it or add something in it.
the line looks something like this:
memset(XXX_addr.sin_zero, ' ', sizeof XXX_addr.sin_zero);

Any suggestions?

Can you please calrify what you are trying to do? If you are trying to create a string of 10 spaces just put a space in the quotes.

As suggested by ilikepython....try to use memset with 0 or space like
memset(obj,0,sizeof(obj);
or
memset(obj,' ',sizeof(obj);

Do you have a space between your single quotes??

An empty character constant is a pair of single quotes with nothing between them.
