I am looking at some exploit and in the debugger, I see lots of deadbeef, is that like null for the registers?

/Edit:

When returning from a syscall, the syscall handler stores 0xDEADBEEF in all argument and temp registers to avoid data leaks.

Damn, I saw this and thought maybe someone was porting Deadbeef to the psp.

When there is a return from a syscall, 0xDEADBEEF are placed all over to avoid data leak.

Some memory managers write deadbeef arround memobjects to know if there is a leak.

at least i do that.. I'd say its actully pretty normal for a c++ dev
