That depends on what "the semantic constraints for default-initialization are
checked" means.

That wording would be relevant for a similar case involving `constinit`. Here,
the relevant wording is in 7.7 [expr.const] paragraph 12 (and the uninitialized
`int` is fine with the current wording). The example needs to be changed to use
pointers:
```
struct A {
  consteval A() = default;
private:
  int *m;
};

struct B {
  consteval B() = default;
private:
  int *m, *n = 0;
};

void f() {
  A a; // GCC accepts this despite pointer with indeterminate value
  B b; // GCC rejects this
}
```

So it seems GCC just doesn't do certain checking when the constructor is
trivial.
