This code trick {} will zero out the struct.

Is this done purpose and really needed?

On x86_64 this unfortunately generates an asm instruction: rep stos

A repeated store string operation, for zeroing out memory, which is
slow. (Because[1] it supports be suspended by an exception or interrupt,
which requires it to store/restore CPU flags).
