Sorry, I hadn't seen your answer when I posted.

Now that I have read it ...

About the compiler: It's g++ and all options are appropriate for the
rest of the project.

I have this code:
Dir::Dir(): cur_entryp(0),vec(0)
{
	// memset((void *)&cur_dev,0,sizeof(cur_dev)); // OK
	// memset((void *)&cur_dev,0,0); // OK and do nothing.
	cur_dev={}; // OK

	... other init stuff ...

}

The member I am talking about is cur_dev.
cur_dev={} also works (no warning)!
Does this cause any code to be executed?
Is it the best way in c++?
