[Bug c++/19246] New: Cannot instansate const struct without constructor.

[chris at bubblescope dot net]

The following code fails to compile. I believe (although I'm not positive) it
should:

struct S {};
const S s;

Notes:
The code doesn't compile with "struct S {int i;};", so the problem isn't an
empty struct.
The following variants do compile:

struct S{ S(){} };
const S s;

struct S {};
const S s = S();

Note that:
struct S {};
const S s();

does compile, but doesn't declare s as an S, but as a void function returning
const S.

This does compile in vc++7.1 (not that that means it's right!)

PS Yes I realise this construct is almost entirely useless, I came across it
while writing a testcase.
