Description
Oh, sorry about custom type it is just an example, I think this should be an option for any type that can have a count set to a fixed number.
If you have a definition with a fixed size.
{
"name": "foo",
"type": [
"fcstring",
{
"count": 4,
"trim": true
}
]
}
And wanted to serialize some object where it is undefined
{}
Then the buffer should zero fill.
<Buffer 00 00 00 00>
Example with buffer data type.
{
"name": "foo",
"type": [
"buffer",
{
"count": 4
}
]
}
<Buffer 00 00 00 00>
And applicable to arrays as well.
Would such an option be possible?
Maybe when setting up the serializer.

Research direction
Start by locating the serializer setup and the handling for fixed-count types. Add coverage for undefined fixed-size fcstring and buffer values, including arrays, and verify that serialization produces the requested zero-filled buffers. The issue does not name specific files or tests, so repository exploration is required.
