I just read this issue thread: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/5373
and this https://codereview.appspot.com/137880043
which says:
for i := range a {
a[i] = [zero val]
}
will be replaced with memclr.
I made some benchmarks, but the results are disappointing.
When the length of slice/array is very large, memclr is slower.
