Because that is the definition of inline initialization. 
Basically, every type (struct/class) has a ".init" state, which 
is a compile-time known static initial value.

So when you write "auto a = new A;" It means a resolves to the 
*value* which is the result of "new A". This is not to be 
confused with the *expression*.

In any case, I think the code is wrong to begin with, since you 
are basically using a non shared to access a non-TLS global.

I'm filing a bug report right now.
