<P>Paragraph 9 of
9.5 [<A href="https://wg21.link/dcl.init">dcl.init</A>]

 says:</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>If no initializer is specified for an object, and the object
is of (possibly cv-qualified) non-POD class type (or array thereof), the
object shall be default-initialized; if the object is of const-qualified
type, the underlying class type shall have a user-declared default constructor.
Otherwise, if no initializer is specified for an object, the object and
its subobjects, if any, have an indeterminate initial value; if the object
or any of its subobjects are of const-qualified type, the program is ill-formed.</BLOCKQUOTE>
It should be made clear that this paragraph does not apply to static objects.

<P>
<B>Proposed resolution (10/00):</B> In
9.5 [<A href="https://wg21.link/dcl.init#9">dcl.init</A>] paragraph 9,
 replace</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Otherwise, if no initializer is specified for an object..."
</BLOCKQUOTE>
with
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Otherwise, if no initializer is specified for a <INS>non-static</INS>
object...
