A12-1-1 - Does it apply to POD structs?
#1
Hi,

Does A12-1-1 apply to POD structs? Example:

Code:
struct Foo
{
  int x;
  int y;
};

The members of `Foo` are by default uninitialized. Does A12-1-1 require `Foo` to explicitly initialize its members, like this?

Code:
struct Foo
Code:
{
Code:
  int x{};
Code:
  int y{};
Code:
};


Please note that the above change has some implications, namely that `Foo` is no longer trivial. As such, compilers will warn about performing `memcpy` operations on them. This is a problem for serializer/deserializer type of code.

Thanks!
