[Bug c++/25811] New: No failure creating a POD containing a const member, using new without a new-initializer.

[fabien dot chene at laposte dot net]

$ cat podnew.cpp

struct Foo // POD
{
    double const d;
};

int main()
{
    Foo* foo = new Foo; // without the new-initializer
}

This simple code does not fail to compile.
According to the standard (5.3.4.15), I am not sure, but i think it should fail
to compile.

$ g++ podnew.cpp && echo "no failure"
no failure

I use gcc-4.0.2, but it is the same behaviour with 3.4.4.

$ g++ -v
