Hoping someone can confirm or deny this thought.

     int x2prime = void; // (at global scope)

Since x2prime is module variable, I would expect that the 
compiler will always initialize this to 0 since there isn't 
really a performance hit. Or is using void guarantee it won't get 
initialized (so much value in that guarantee)?
