The following three files show that G++ (1.32.0) handles the
case of a call to an un-declared constructor differently in
different contexts. If the call to the undeclared constructor
occurs for a static or an auto object, then warnings are issued.
If however the constructor call is made for a heap (new) object
then an error is issued.
I believe that all three cases demand that an error be issued.
After all, you are supposed to declare things before you use
them right? At the very least, all three cases should be handled
the same way.
