#3869: Unconditional call to memset in value_initialized()
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  agurtovoy     |       Owner:  niels_dekker
     Type:  Bugs          |      Status:  new         
Milestone:  Boost 1.42.0  |   Component:  utility     
  Version:  Boost 1.41.0  |    Severity:  Problem     
 Keywords:                |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The call is there to workaround bugs in a few specific compilers, but is
 applied unconditionally, cannot be optimized away, and thus significantly
 limits applicability of the component in a library context.
