Like the above use of memset, can we initial

Answer 1

On Linux, OSX and other UNIX like operating systems where wchar_t is 32 bits and you can use wmemset() instead of memset().

#include
...
int arr[15];
wmemset( arr, 1, 6 );

Note that wchar_t on MS-Windows is 16 bits so this trick may not work.
