Visual Studio: Disable Automatic Initialization

Question

I code my C++ assignments in Visual Studio Enterprise. However, I noticed that when I ran my code in linux to check on different platforms, that I would have errors because visual studio, regardless of what you do with your variables, initializes all variables to zero. for instance, I forgot to set the head pointer in a Linked List exercise to nullptr and VS still ran fine, but linux did not. I really want to be able to catch these errors earlier, so is there a way to disable in VS this automatic initialization?

Thanks

Have you tried disabling SDL?

Right clikc your Project => Properties => C/C++ => Code Generation => Security Check => Disable Security Check.
