Bug ID: 110836
Summary: g++ should report when there is no way to create
structure or class
Product: gcc

example
GCC should report when there is no way to create structure or class instance.
At least warning would be required (preferably enabled by default or -Wall)
It could even be an error
Possible reasons why it could be impossible to create object (list can be
incomplete):
- at least one deleted constructor present and no other constructors
- only copy constructor
- only private destructor
- only private constructor and no static methods (should exclude possibility of
factory methods as there is no way to detect them from declaration only when
static methods are present)
Currently problem is only detected when there is an attempt to create object,
but it should be also detectable from header files only
