Another class problem

hi im writing code and i get another error saying need class/union/struct left of .(my class method).

Yet i do Class ClassName();
ClassName.myMethod();

Yet if i use parameters instead it workds, only when there isnt any arguments. Isnt this wierd. I dunno if its msvc6 but im movin to vs.net2003 soon

It's a strange "feature" of the language, but if your constructor has no parameters, then you shouldn't add parentheses or it will be interpreted as function instead of a variable declaration.

Thats retarded thank god its fixed in more oop languages i was so confused.

Indeed. That seems more like a bad habit that compilers have, though, as the context should uniquely indicate which one is meant.

Sadly, GCC seems to have the same problem.

Would that more oop language happen to be written in C++?

Technically it's part of the language standard, so it's not really the compilers' fault.

I didn't realize that, thanks.

It still seems silly, though. The proper contexts for each are mutually exclusive...
