hey...

my simple question is, when i do the following (as an example):

class MyClass {
public:
   MyClass();
protected:
   int data;
};

void main()
{
   MyClass instance();  // point of interest
}

on the line in question, it tries to accept 'instance()' as a classname, and
it totally misses the concept that it might be trying to construct the
class.  the only way i can get this to work is by declaring a class pointer
object and initializing it, then destroying it at the end manually.  i have
not had this problem in other dos compilers, though i HAVE had this sample
problem with linux gcc (ooh.. big surprise.. :)

anyways, could somebody please tell me what's going on..  thanks a bunch.
