+ * This dance with uninitialized declaration, followed by memset to zero,
+ * followed by assignment using compound literal syntax is done to preserve

+ * have all the padding bytes initialized to zero. It's not guaranteed though,
+ * when copying literal, that compiler won't copy garbage in literal's padding
+ * bytes, but that's the best way I've found and it seems to work in practice.
