Issue tracking the SG22 discussion of WG21 paper P2723R0 Zero-initialize objects of automatic storage duration (JF Bastien)

WG21 Issue

ThePhD commented 11 months ago

This paper can proceed separately within WG21 without our explicit input. It's fine if the languages differ at this level, and WG14 has many times expressed their distaste for zero-initialization of data both in automatic storage duration and in heaps. We can discuss it but we should not stop progress in WG21 for a language feature that WG14 is, anecdotally and stated in meetings, cold about.

Nevertheless, a discussion can happen in SG22 to ensure WG14 feels like their opinion is heard on the paper.
