[Bug c++/42844] New: const variable requires initializer / no explicitly declared default constructor

["mathieu dot malaterre at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

I believe the following c++ code is incorrect:

struct A
{
  A(){}
};

struct B : public A
{
};

int main()
{
  const B b;
  return 0;
}

It fails with Comeau with the following error:

"ComeauTest.c", line 13: error: const variable "b" requires an initializer --
class
          "B" has no explicitly declared default constructor
    const B b;
