5.3.4.15
A new-expression that creates an object of type T initializes that object as follows:
If the new-initializer is omitted:
if T is a (possibly cv-qualified) non-POD class type (or array thereof), the object is default-
initialized (8.5). If T is a const-qualified type, the underlying class type shall have a user-declared
default constructor.
— Otherwise, the object created has indeterminate value. I T is a const-qualified type, or a (possibly
cv-qualified) POD class type (or array thereof) containing (directly or indirectly) a member of
const-qualified type, the program is ill-formed;
— If the new-initializer is of the form (), the item is value-initialized (8.5);
8.5.5
To value-initialize an object of type T means:
if T is a class type (clause 9) with a user-declared constructor (12.1), then the default constructor for T is
called (and the initialization is ill-formed if T has no accessible default constructor);
if T is a non-union class type without a user-declared constructor, then every non-static data member
and base-class component of T is value-initialized;
