// NOTE(sherm1) to future implementers: if you decide to extend this adapter for
// use with class types, be sure to think carefully about the semantics of copy
// and move and how to explain that to users. Be aware that for class types T,
// the implementation of `T{}` (the default constructor, which may have been
// user-supplied) won't necessarily reset T's members to zero, nor even
// necessarily value-initialize T's members. Also, the "noexcept" reasoning
// below is more than we need with the std::is_scalar<T> restriction, but is
// strictly necessary for class types if you want std::vector to choose move
// construction (content-preserving) over copy construction (resetting).
/// Type wrapper that performs value-initialization on copy construction or
/// assignment.
///
/// Rather than copying the source supplied for copy construction or copy
/// assignment, this wrapper instead value-initializes the destination object.
/// Move assignment and construction preserve contents in the destination as
/// usual, but reset the source to its value-initialized value.
///
/// Only types T that satisfy `std::is_scalar<T>` are currently
/// permitted: integral and floating point types, enums, and pointers.
/// Value initialization means the initialization performed when a variable is
/// constructed with an empty initializer `{}`. For the restricted set of types
/// we support, that just means that numeric types are set to zero and pointer
/// types are set to nullptr. Also, all the methods here are noexcept due to the
/// `std::is_scalar<T>` restriction.
/// See http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/value_initialization.
///
/// Background:
///
/// It is preferable to use default copy construction for classes whenever
/// possible because it avoids difficult-to-maintain enumeration of member
/// fields in bespoke copy constructors. The presence of fields that must be
/// reset to zero in the copy (counters, for example) prevents use of default
/// copy construction. Similarly, pointers that would be invalid in the copy
/// need to be set to null to avoid stale references. By wrapping those
/// problematic data members in this adapter, default copy construction can
/// continue to be used, with all data members copied properly except the
/// designated ones, which are value-initialized instead. The resetting of the
/// source on move doesn't change semantics since the condition of the source
/// after a move is generally undefined. It is instead opportunistic good
/// hygiene for early detection of bugs, taking advantage of the fact that we
/// know type T can be value-initialized. See reset_after_move for more
/// discussion.
///
/// Example:
///
/// <pre>
/// class Foo {
///  public:
///   DRAKE_DEFAULT_COPY_AND_MOVE_AND_ASSIGN(Foo)
///   Foo() = default;
///
///  private:
///   std::vector<int> items_;
///   reset_on_copy<int> use_count_;
/// };
/// </pre>
///
/// When copying from `Foo`, the new object will contain a copy of `items_`
/// but `use_count_` will be zero.  If `Foo` had not used the
/// `reset_on_copy` wrapper, `use_count_` would have been copied also,
/// which we're assuming is not the desired behavior here.
///
/// @warning Even if you initialize a %reset_on_copy member to a non-zero value
/// using an initializer like `reset_on_copy<int> some_member_{5}` it will be
/// _reset_ to zero, not _reinitialized_ to 5 when copied.
///
/// @note Enum types T are permitted, but be aware that they will be reset to
/// zero, regardless of whether 0 is one of the specified enumeration values.
///
/// @tparam T must satisfy `std::is_scalar<T>`.
/// @see reset_after_move
