Value initialization and Non POD types

by

Visual Studio has known bugs in all current versions (2005, 2008, 2010) where it doesn’t correctly implement value-initialization for non-POD types that don’t have a user declared constructor.

By the language rules none of you asserts should fire but do exhibit the compiler issues. These are some of the bug reports, note that they are all closed or resolved as “Won’t Fix”.
