[Bug c++/13574] New: array default initializer in class lets gcc consume all memory and die

["pabel at iam dot uni-bonn dot de" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

When trying to compile this program 
--- 
class A { 
  public: 
#ifdef SAFE 
    A() : argc(0) {  }; 
#else 
    A() : argc(0), argv() {  }; 
#endif 
  private: 
    int argc; 
    char* argv[]; 
}; 
 
int main() { 
    A y; 
} 
--- 
with g++ without -DSAFE, the compiler consumes all memory until it chokes: 
g++ argv.cpp -o argv -Wall 
virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory 
 
It does not happen when using "char**" as type.
