Note that the glibc uses are frequently incompatible with libstdc++
(std::vector in particular).  Unfortunately, there is no consensus to
fix this.  For example, one issue is that

  memset(vec.data(), 0, sizeof(decltype(vec)::value_type) * vec.size())

isn't necessarily defined even for vectors of POD type.

Thanks,
Florian
