The following code used to trigger a warning with gcc 4.2 and 4.3 but passes
silently with 4.4 and 4.5:
=====================================
#include <memory>
struct S;
int main()
{
std::auto_ptr<S> p( (S*) 1234 );
}
=====================================
This code triggers a segfault but when the pointer is actually from a real
object, then its destructor simply is not called and resources are leaked.
