At this code I was able to initialize the reference by itself, so actually it
became an uninitialized reference:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class t
 {
  public:
   t():x(x){x=0;cerr<<x<<endl;}
   int &x;
 };

int main()
 {
  t test;
 }

I compiled this code with:
g++ -W -Wall -ansi -pedantic my-test-code.cpp -o my-test-binary
I got no errors (and also no warnings)
executing ./my-test-binary gave a segmentation fault
