"all bits" is a bit misleading, as it does not cover padding
(alignment holes and anonymous bit-fileds and holes due to bit-fields).
At least that is what I think the standard says.
The compiler is likely to implement "all bits".
C23 ... = { } - without 0 between the braces - really includes "all bits" but even recent C++ does not.
