Yet another portable solution is:
static mbstate_t s1;
mbstate_t s = s1;
also with its own form of ugliness.
I did that years ago, but compilers complained about it when I made s1
'const', and I vaguely recall complaints even when it wasn't 'const'
("What? You're declaring a static variable that is always zero and never
changes? That must be a bug!!").
At this point I wouldn't worry about the older clang and gcc versions
that complain about {0} as an initializer. We can either let them die
off noisily, or use the appropriate -Wno-whatever option when using them
to compile.
