Bug #: 52541
Summary: g++ allows definition of const POD
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: konrad_rudo...@hotmail.com
g++ 4.6.2 compiles the attached code without error. However, it *should* yield
an error similar to "uninitialized const ‘a’" (according to §8.5 of the
standard). In particular, prior versions of GCC treat this as an error,
suggesting a regression. It's also worth noting that the compiler does issue an
error once the class `c` contains member variables.
