------- Additional Comments From pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2003-10-18 00:46 -------
The example in this PR is not a good example.
Here is a better example for PR 12591:
class foo {
        private:
                foo(const foo &);
        public:
                foo();
};
const foo &bar = foo();

Here is the quote from clause 12.2, paragraph 1 which applies (for temporary objects):
"Example: even if the copy constructor is not called, all the semantic restrictions, such as 
accessibility (clause 11), shall be satisfied."
The part that applies is clause 12.2, paragraph 5, the example.
Since 3.3.3 most likely will not exist, setting target to 3.4.
