should this not be array[size] = { }; ?!

If I recall correctly { 0 } will only set the first element of the
struct/array to 0 and leave random data in all others elements

An initializer always initializes the _whole_ object.

The subject is also wrong, all initializers are executed at run time
(automatic variables cannot be initialized at compile time).
