Another option is to utilize implicit static initializer rules:
| if it is a union, the first named member is initialized (recursively)
| according to these rules, and any padding is initialized to zero bits;
So something like:
static union u zero;
union u u = zero;
Though, the "padding bits" part was added in C11 and wasn't present in
C99 in case you want to be pedantic about C99 conformance.
