When I compile the following code with g++, the object of class A seems not to be destructed when the object of class C is constructed, and the B.ref_a reference is not broken when accessed by the constructor of object of class C:
#include <iostream>
struct A
{
    A(int aa)
    {
     a = aa;
    }
    ~A()
    {
     std::cout << "A out" << std::endl;
    }
    int a;
};
struct B
{
    B(const A& a)
    : ref_a(a)
    {
    }
    ~B()
    {
     std::cout << "B out" << std::endl;
    }
    const A& ref_a;
};
struct C
{
    C(const B& b)
    {
     c = b.ref_a.a + 1;
    }
    int c;
};
int main(void)
{
    C c(B(A(1)));
    std::cout << c.c << std::endl;
}
However, is it guaranteed by the C++ language?
