I don't think yours will actually work though--it won't clear the first char.  Rather, use:

for(int i=0; str[i]; str[i++]=0);

If you post-increment i in the conditional, it will test before the first loop and thus skip str[0] in the clearing code.  Incrementing in the "increment" piece of the for loop generally works better =P
