[news.eclipse.dsdp.rtsc] Re: Issue with declaring structure variable and

[dave russo <d-russo@xxxxxx>]

The instance config parameters must be initialized in the .xdc file. 
This is because instance config parameters are used to define a default 
parameters structure (<module>_Params) which is used when instances are 
created and the user passes in NULL for the parameters.

However the instance state object itself may be initialized in the 
module's .xs file; see 
http://rtsc.eclipse.org/docs-tip/Extending_xdc.runtime_Gates/Example_1 
for an example of initializing a buffer declared in the .xdc file to all 
zeros.  Look at the Lock.xdc file and the Lock.xs file.
