Core dump constructing a C++ string with NULL

[Tom Browder]

It would be nice if this would construct an empty string:

  #include <string>
  std::string s(0);

At the moment that gives a core dump.

Is that defined behavior according to the standard?  If not, what
about a g++ enhancement?

Thanks.

Regards.
