Protecting Freed Memory

//For example

#define DATA_SIZE
BOOL function()
{
   char pszData = NULL;  //Memory pointer
  
   //Allocate memory
   pszData = new char [DATA_SIZE];
   if(pszData == NULL){
      return(FALSE);
   }

   //Reset the memory Initially
   memset(pszData, 0, sizeof(char) *  DATA_SIZE);

   .... //Use the memory and free it before the return()    statement

  //The below part is Important to protect the data
  memset(pszData, 0, sizeof(char) *  DATA_SIZE);
  delete [] pszData;
  
  return(TRUE);
}
