   Please read the FAQ for this:   
      
   http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ctors.html#faq-10.21   
      
   I wonder that line (4) is accepted, it shouldn't: S( i ) creates an   
   rvalue and the expression &S( i ) would attempt to get the address of   
   it. This should be ill-formed according to 5.3.1 [expr.unary.op] p3,   
   only lvalues (or a qualified-id) are feasible operands of the address   
   operator.
