This is odd. I always write constructurs like so:


class foo {
  int bar;
  double baz;

  foo (void) { bar=5; baz=18.669; }
  inline foo (int x);
}



foo::foo(int x) {
  bar=x;
  baz=double(x)+0.5;
}

and never have any problems. The dox on writing C++ I've read all seem to
indicate you just don't specify any return type on constructors at all,
and let the compiler take care of it, and the same for destructors.
