@code{memset} or @code{memcpy} is an object of class type, and when writing
into such an object might bypass the class non-trivial or deleted constructor
or copy assignment, violate const-correctness or encapsulation, or corrupt
the virtual table. Modifying the representation of such objects may violate
invariants maintained by member functions of the class. For example, the call
to @code{memset} below is undefined because it modifies a non-trivial class
object and is, therefore, diagnosed. The safe way to either initialize or
clear the storage of objects of such types is by using the appropriate
virtual table pointers. Modifying the representation of such objects may
