[cfe-dev] [libcxx] std::atomic default constructor

[Stephan Tolksdorf]

Hi,

Is there a reason that the default constructors for the std::atomic 
types in libc++'s <atomic> are not explicitly defaulted? In the header 
the "= default" is commented out and instead a trivial constructor is 
explicitly defined. This leads to non-standard behaviour, because value 
initialization doesn't zero-initialize the atomic value.

For example, the default constructor of the following struct Test does 
not zero-initialize atomicValue as expected:

struct Test {
     int value{}; // is zero-initialized
     std::atomic<int> atomicValue{}; // is not zero-initialized
};

Best regards,
   Stephan
