class A
{
    A & operator(A const &);  // it is private
};

class B : public A
{
};

// B does not define a copy assignment operator and it is not called in the
// translation unit
// WP 12.8 para 12 states that implicitly defining a copy assigment operator
// makes the program ill formed only if it is called.  Can a conformant
// compiler compile the above code without error ?
