Even that gets funny when you have:
union {
struct {
char *foo;
uintptr_t bar;
} a;
struct {
uintptr_t baz;
char *bla;
} b;
} u;
In this case, u.b.baz can very well be 0x55555555
when you initialise u.a as {} (C23+) or {0}, e.g.
on TenDRA with the option to have nil pointers be
not a binary 0-bits representation.
