Possible Duplicate:
What do the following phrases mean in C++: zero-, default- and value-initialization?

There are multiple places where people have said that an explicit call to the class constructor results in value initialization [when no used-defined constructors exist] and that this is not done by the default constructor [which is a do-nothing constructor] but is something completely different.

What happens actually if no constructor is called OR What is value initialization in this case ?

    Firstly, what happens actually if no constructor is called

    A constructor for a class-type is always called when an object is constructed, be it user-defined or compiler-generated. The object is initialized, but the members can remain un-initialized. This makes the second part of the question obsolete.

    Second, is there documentation that supports/mentions/explains this behaviour ?

    The all-mighty standard.
