I don't know how this is any better than using memset...

Also, you can do

        ... start = { };

which is certainly the only other alternative to memset, AFAIK.

But whatever you do, you need to look at the resulting asm the compiler
generates. So let's do that:

I'm ok with Boris' version, I'm not a fan of having to count zeros.  I used
memset() to defer initialization until after the various sanity checks, and
out of habit.


Yes I also like Boris' version  ... start = { };  better than mine.
