Description
When converting an empty string view to arrow, we don't bother with copies from device, but rather create the arrow arrays directly. The offset buffer is therefore a singleton int32 array with zero in it.
Previously, the initialization of this array was incorrect, since mutable_data() returns a uint8_t pointer, and so setting the single element could leave 24 of the 32 bits uninitialized.
Fix this by using memset instead to zero out the full buffer.
