Compilation Failure - empty scalar initializer - Inheritable objects & Atomics [OA]RC on DEVEL

[shayanhabibi]

The following fails to compile with the listed error using ARC or ORC however compiles successfully on REFC

import atomics

type
  # Deprivation* = ref object of RootObj    # compiles
  Deprivation* = object of RootObj        # fails
    memes*: Atomic[int]
  Zoomer = object
    dopamine: Deprivation                 # fails
    # dopamine: ref Deprivation             # compiles

# discard Deprivation()                     # compiles
discard Zoomer()                          # fails

I have tagged which lines I have narrowed down to causing issues and what doesn't.

This was found while trying to use elijahrs lockfreequeue types as fields of objects.

C++ backend can be fixed using -std=gnu++17

I'll push a fix after #18836 is merged or solved.

This is not fixed, or at least it's not tested (this test also does not run for c++ at all). -std=gnu++17 does not seem to fix it.
