            Bug ID: 103044
           Summary: d: Use __builtin_clear_padding for zeroing objects
                    before set.
           Product: gcc
           Version: 12.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: d
          Assignee: ibuclaw at gdcproject dot org
          Reporter: ibuclaw at gdcproject dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

D language spec says that all alignment holes must be zero all of the time, and
currently a mixed use of __builtin_memset/__builtin_memcpy is used to achieve
this, with mixed results depending on back-end and optimization level.

Since gcc 11, a new __builtin_clear_padding intrinsic has been added.  We
should be using that instead.
