Not really. The code is still invalid (it doesn't matter whether the function
call eliminated or not). Consider this:

class foo {
	public:
		foo(foo &);
		foo();
};

const foo &bar = foo();

Here, the compiler had to eliminate a function call to a function which doesn't
exist. So Compaq's compiler is wrong too: it's not a warning, but an error.
Although it's not a serious error :)
