// g++ 1.37.1 bug 900519_09

// g++ allows the allocation of const objects via operator new even when
// these uses of operator new do not include initializations.

// This is inconsistant within the restrictions placed on the construction
// of class, struct, and union types which have constant members.

// Since there is no completely valid way of initializing such objects
// after the invocation of new, these cases should all be illegal.

// keywords: operator new, initialization, const qualifier

  int member;
