Ugh, no. I don't want to turn this list into comp.lang.c, but
From the beginning of time, C has guaranteed that static variables
without explicit initialization are guaranteed to have all fields
set to zero.
Note that the memcpy idea is wrong for two reasons:
It does at runtime what the language already has guaranteed at compile
(most likely, load) time.
It assumes that a NULL pointer and a 0.0 floating-point number are
all-bits-zero.
