/* Helper macro to declare and initialize libbpf options struct
 *
 * This dance with uninitialized declaration, followed by memset to zero,
 * followed by assignment using compound literal syntax is done to preserve
 * ability to use a nice struct field initialization syntax and **hopefully**
 * have all the padding bytes initialized to zero. It's not guaranteed though,
 * when copying literal, that compiler won't copy garbage in literal's padding
 * bytes, but that's the best way I've found and it seems to work in practice.
 *
 * Macro declares opts struct of given type and name, zero-initializes,
 * including any extra padding, it with memset() and then assigns initial
 * values provided by users in struct initializer-syntax as varargs.
