Why am I permitted to declare an object with a deleted destructor?

Question

Consider the following text:

[C++11: 12.4/11]: Destructors are invoked implicitly

• for constructed objects with static

Answer 1

It's that B's destructor is generated by the compiler at the line of your error and it has a call to A's destructor which is deleted, hence the error. In the first example nothing is trying to call A's destructor hence no error.
