>Description:
g++ issues a warning that a pure virtual base class with
no data members should be initialized when when it compiles
copy constructors of a derived class. 

this error also occurs in previous compiler versions and
platforms other than the one this PR was submitted from
>How-To-Repeat:
class a {
public:
    virtual int f() = 0;
    virtual int g() = 0;
};

class b : public a {
public:
    b();
    b(const b& c);

protected:
    int i;
};

b::b() {}

b::b(const b& c) {
    i = c.i;
}
