In the embedded C client for MQTT, the qos0pub.c example doesn't properly initialise the topic string, causing all sorts of mayhem.

The line in question: http://git.eclipse.org/c/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.embedded-c.git/tree/samples/qos0pub.c#n126

Ought to be:
MQTTString topicString = MQTTString_initializer;

Thanks

Yep, initializing it would be a good idea. By accident, it didn't cause a problem for me, which is why it wasn't initialized. Fixed in master stream.

Thanks.

Please also fix on https://www.eclipse.org/paho/clients/c/embedded/ - I can confirm that this is causing indeed all sorts of mayhem :-)

Bonus points, Ian, if you fix it on your blog too :) http://modelbasedtesting.co.uk/?p=69
