object() and object;

[l2u]

Hello

I've been having headaches for 2 days because I thought someobject o; is the same as someobject o();

Now I wonder what is the difference betwen those two?

My program was crashing because I had someobject o; which prevented the expected constructor behavior.

When I changed it to someobject o(); everything worked as it should..

There shouldn't be a difference. Can you show some code?

[l2u]

Sure..

Inside main:

client_session o; //will make it crash

client_session o(); //this wont make it crash

class client_session {
public:
	client_session() :
		_io_service(),
		_client(_io_service, *this) { }
	
	boost::asio::io_service _io_service;
	client _client;
};

class client : public connection {
public:
	client(boost::asio::io_service& io_service, client_session &session) :
		connection(io_service),
		_session(session) { }

	client_session &_session;
};

class connection {
public:
	connection(boost::asio::io_service &io_service) : _socket(io_service) { }
	boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket _socket;
};

The first declares an object 'o' of type someobject. The second declares a function 'o' which takes no parameters and returns a someobject.
