[Bug c++/38427] New: crash for reference init code

["dcb314 at hotmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

I just tried to compile the following C++ source code
with the GNU C compiler version 4.4 snapshot 20081205.

struct S
{
        int & ref;
        S() : ref() {
        };
};

The compiler said

$ ~/gcc/20081205/results/bin/g++ jun17.cc
jun17.cc: In constructor 'S::S()':
jun17.cc:5: warning: default-initialization of 'int& S::ref', which has
reference type
jun17.cc:5: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.

Here is valgrind helping out with a stack backtrace
