The attached patch changes the code generated for
std::optional<std::array<int,1024>>f(){return{};}
from
movq $0, (%rdi)
movq %rdi, %r8
leaq 8(%rdi), %rdi
xorl %eax, %eax
movq $0, 4084(%rdi)
movq %r8, %rcx
andq $-8, %rdi
subq %rdi, %rcx
addl $4100, %ecx
shrl $3, %ecx
rep stosq
movq %r8, %rax
or with different tuning
subq $8, %rsp
movl $4100, %edx
xorl %esi, %esi
call memset
addq $8, %rsp
to the much shorter
movb $0, 4096(%rdi)
movq %rdi, %rax
i.e. the same as the nullopt constructor.
The constructor was already non-trivial, so we don't lose that. It passes the
testsuite without regression, but there is no new testcase to verify the
better codegen.
