Compiler treating a function as a variable

I'm stumped.

I'm using Dev-cpp as my IDE, compiler is hitting just one line with errors:

Line 36 : variable or field `destroyDirt' declared void
Line 36 : expected `;' before '(' token

Line 36 is void destroyDirt(xyCord);

the surrounding code is:

Code:

---

                // class constructor
                DirtField(SDL_Surface * battlefield);
       
                // class destructor
                ~DirtField();
               
                // destroy the dirt (if present) at the specified point
                void destroyDirt(xyCord);

---

This header file seems otherwise fine. Moving that function declaration within the file does not change the error (the line number of the error follows this function). If I comment out this function (and it's related definition) it compiles fine.

I am terribly vexed...

Where is xyCord defined, and how?

That would be in another header file that I totally spaced off including in this one.

Now I just feel silly.

Yes, I usually feel silly about that too - not quite as silly as when I thought (a > b) meant that it was true when "b is greater than a" just a few minutes ago tho'.
