Hello all,

Given a class type with only a no-argument contstrutor:

struct T { T(); /* ... */ };  // assume no other ctors

Is there any way to define an extern const object of class T?

extern const T t; // nope:  this is a declaration
const T t2; // nope:  this is a definition, but t2 is not extern
extern const T t3();  // nope:  this is a declaration of the function
named t3 which returns a const T

So, can you find a way to *define* an extern const object type T? 
(Besides adding some ctor with a dummy argument.)  If you can you9re
smarter than I am.

Thanks,
