There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should we add a reference to the GCC ticket to remember why we globber the memory here? Just in case someone looks at this in 3 years from now and tries to save some cycles...

I was not able to test this. The code generated by godbolt seems legit, but I did not yet figured out how to look at the disassembled code in OMPI.
Fixes #13014.
