Description
pub __bindgen_padding_0: [u8; 40usize],
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the trait Default is not implemented for [u8; 40]
This very well may be something I (should) have to work around, but could you please explain the meaning of "when possible" in the doc?

Research direction
The issue names no source file or test. Start by locating the documentation passage containing “when possible” and reproduce the generated binding with the reported Rust 1.85 Windows toolchain; done means determining whether Default should be derived for the padding array and clarifying or correcting that documented behavior.
