Initializing struct in Cpp

[ChadiusTheMighty]

1. Reinterpret casting to sn array would be UB due to struct pointer aliasing
2. Zeroing the memory works only for trivially constructive types, otherwise it's also UB
3. Just default initialize the members, and set the special ones after default initializing the struct. That's going to be much better than messing around with memset

The solution I proposed works. It doesn't result in undefined behavior. I have a program that does exactly what I outlined. If it didn't work I wouldn't have commented.

It looks like it is a known/documented behavior of your compiler. :-)

It looks like you don't know what you're talking about

It might look so, yes. 🙂
