[Bug c++/23480] New: default-initializing variable size array new expression does not work

[avi at argo dot co dot il]

the following function 
 
  int* f(int n) { return new int[n](); } 
 
translates to 
 
_Z1fi: 
.LFB2: 
        pushl   %ebp 
.LCFI0: 
        movl    %esp, %ebp 
.LCFI1: 
        sall    $2, 8(%ebp) 
        leave 
.LCFI2: 
        jmp     _Znaj 
 
which does not default-initialize the array.
