[Bug c++/40975] New: internal compiler error: in copy_tree_r, at tree-inline.c

["jonathan dot jones at mathworks dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Using array new as a default initializer of a constructor argument, when the
object being "newed" itself contains a constructor, crashes the compiler with
an error similar to the following:

% g++ -c gcc_bug.cpp
    gcc_bug.cpp:13: internal compiler error: in copy_tree_r, at
tree-inline.c:3160
    Please submit a full bug report,
    with preprocessed source if appropriate.
    See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.3/README.Bugs> for instructions.

The following code example clearly demonstrates the problem.  

// BEGIN gcc_bug.cpp
struct data_type
{
    // constructor required to reproduce compiler bug
    data_type() {}
};

struct ptr_type
{
    // array new as default argument required to reproduce compiler bug
    ptr_type (data_type* ptr = new data_type[1]) { delete[] ptr; }
};

ptr_type obj;
// END gcc_bug.cpp

The problem is visible in multiple versions of the compiler on multiple
systems:
