// cfront 2.0 bug 900207.02

// Cfront 2.0 will not allow you to explicitly call an implicitly generated
// default constructor for a member as a ctor-initializer (see 12.6.2)
// for a containing class constructor.

// I can find nothing in the 2.0 Reference Manual to indicate that this should
// be illegal.

class c1 {
  class c0 c0_member;
public:

  }
};

class c2 {
};

class c3 {
  class c2 c2_member;
public:
  c3 () : c2_member () { /* explicit call of c2::c2() causes erroneous error */
  }
