Is the memset in clear() necessary?

[rlogiacco]

I've taken your advice and actually turned the memset switchable via a new, optional, parameter to the clear() function named sweep: it's active by default, for backward compatibility and as it might help recover unused space (under certain circumstances),but you can now provide a false value to obtain maximum performance.
The version has not been released yet, I'll wait for your confirmation it might be a valid approach.

if head and tail positions are reset, or a read/pop is done, theres no point to discard data in that slot as its not included in the queue, and further writes will override it anyways

adding memset is pretty redundant, but not necessary

if we all agree there is no value in having that clear up, I will remove it in the next version...

Awesome, thanks for looking into it so quick :)

I've removed the memset call: in a couple of days I will release the new version for the plugin manager
