        <pre>The following program:

#include <stdlib.h>

struct SV {
        size_t capacity;
        size_t disc;
        size_t data[40];


        static SV make() {
                SV ret;
                ret.capacity = 0;
                ret.disc = 0;
                return ret;
        }
};

struct L {
        SV a;
};

template<class T>
struct Allocation {
    T *vec;
    void init(T s) {
        *vec = s;
    }
};

void bar(Allocation<L> a, double g) {
        L s = { SV::make() };
        a.init(s);
}

produces:

bar(Allocation<L>, double): # @bar(Allocation<L>, double)
  sub rsp, 344
  xorps xmm0, xmm0
  movaps xmmword ptr [rsp], xmm0
  mov rsi, rsp
  mov edx, 336
  call memcpy
  add rsp, 344
  ret

Moving the capacity field from the beginning of the struct to the end gives the
more desirable:

bar(Allocation<L>, double): # @bar(Allocation<L>, double)
  mov qword ptr [rdi], 0
  mov qword ptr [rdi + 328], 0
