Thread: Constructor not being called.

When I call my constructor, nothing seems to happen I'm getting this error message:

warning C4930: 'String something(void)': prototyped function not called (was a variable definition intended?)

Heres what I have so far of my class:

Code:

typedef unsigned char Uint8;
typedef unsigned short Uint16;
typedef unsigned int Uint32;

class String
{	
	public:
		String();
		String(const char *);
		~String();
		int Len(char *str);
		void StrCat(char *str, char *add);
		void PrintString();
		void SetString(char *str);
		
	private:
		Uint16 size;
		char *str_ptr;
};

String::String()
{
	size = 1;
	str_ptr = new char[size];
	*str_ptr = '\0';
	cout << size << "\nSay something!";
}

And heres where I'm making a new string object:

Code:

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	String something();
	return 0;
}

Can someone tell me why nothing seems to happen? I'm sure it must be something really simple. Cheers.

I originally did it without the brackets, but then I got this error:
fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Which made even less sense to me I had a play around with it today, and I found that I needed to put a couple of braces after my destructor. So yeah, it works now thanks

yeah, that would be it. I'll learn to understand the error messages someday
