Definitions

Valid expressions

Default constructor X()   X
Default constructor X x; [1]    

Expression semantics

Default constructor X()      
Default constructor X x;

Notes

[1] The form X x = X() is not guaranteed to be a valid expression, because it uses a copy constructor. A type that is DefaultConstructible is not necessarily Assignable
