// Special g++ Options: -w
// GROUPS passed references
// Check that if a reference is initialized to refer to a value
// which is returned from a function call, the actual call to
// the function is only invoked for the original initialization
// of the reference, and not for each subsequent use of the
// reference.
//
// This test fails with G++ 1.35.0- (pre-release).
