Normally I agree with the magic number case, but this
is an actual value.  We are saying continue the CRC from
0 (i.e. nothing). It's kind of the logical default value
so seeing it in line makes it clear we aren't continuing form
a prior crc etc.

The disadvantage is you loose the readability a structure brings, but
meh, I don't care that much.

That's obscure and another reason I'd rather see a structure so this
becomes sizeof(a.data)

The fact you compare it with the crc makes that pretty obvious, but
fair enough I guess if you think it helps.

Good luck! (it should be fine but I've never tried it :)
