<P><FONT SIZE=2>> See the following code. When run, the output is only for the test()</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> member. There is no output for the ctor and dtor. Why? Surely </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> an object</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> of the bogus class is being created?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You didn't insert anything in there.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>mv[0] returns a reference to an object (in this case, something</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>referencing memory after the array, which was not constructed).</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>It's not assigned, but used as a temporary, so the result won't</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>be copied (therefore no copy ctor).</FONT>
