I also believe that the value of, say, the default constructor of float is zero. In particular

void do_something() { // F1 is initialized to zero. float f1 = float(); ... }

This is /not/ the default constructor. f1 is copy constructed from an /value-initialized/ temporary. For scalar types, value initialization is the same as zero initialization.

So ISO/IEC 14882:2011 ensures that all valid uses of complex are default initialized to zero. Without judgement, this is the spec.
