operator= and const data members

Will this class compile?

class C { const int a; }

Not sure because default operator= is memberwise assignment and member is
const. Thanks for help.

It will compile but if you write

C x;
C y;
x = y;

you will get an error message that says something like 'the default
assignment operator could not be generated'.
