------- Additional Comments From chris at bubblescope dot net 2005-01-20 19:25 ------- I never thought it was a bug in the library :)
I however throught (incorrectly) that copying an unassigned pointer was valid, mainly as some other test case was considering constructing std::vector<std::list<int>::iterator> v(1). Now I realise that in fact copying an unassigned pointer is undefined behaviour, so of course the error is fine :) Sorry I'm still curious as to why the error doesn't appear if let g++ generate a default constructor, as from my reading of 12.1/7, the default generated constructor should be "ptr() {}", so the error should still appear. Am I reading it wrong? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19544
