           Summary: Structs with void initialized fields get initialized

----- Code -----
struct S {
    int a;
    ubyte[100] b = void;
}

void test() {
    S s;
    s.a = 3;
}
---------------

The output:

        enter   068h,0
        push    ESI
        push    EDI
        mov     ESI,offset FLAT:_D4foo21S6__initZ
        lea     EDI,-068h[EBP]
        mov     ECX,01Ah
        rep
        movsd
        mov     dword ptr -068h[EBP],3
        pop     EDI
        pop     ESI
        leave
        ret

I.e. the field s.b is initialized. While not pedantically a bug, this substantially interferes with performance tuning.

Main question is what to do with aggregate members initialized to void. Currently default initialized instances have fields which are zeroed. T.init value is also zeroed, but both behaviors are under question. I think current practice should be reviewed because the issue tends to pop up instantly in NG in bugzilla.

Meanwhile, recent discussions:
