Repeat after me: default ctors do _not_ establish a valid value.
Perhaps you mean "trivial type's default ctors do _not_ establish a
valid value"?
No, I actually meant default ctor. What should the default value be?
_Obviously_ zero-initialisation. But oh, no, QSize is different. So
maybe it's not _quite_ so obvious what the default value is. Why is
pen's default value a black solid line instead of NoPen? Why is QBrush's
default ctor not solid black, but NoBrush? See? It's just nonsense to
try to pick a default value, so this is to say: Don't try.
There's exactly one exception: containers. _Clearly_ no-one would _ever_
expect a container to start out anything but empty.
Thanks,
Marc
