Thread: 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...
