I am writing a linked list implementation of a queue class that uses
iterators and I am getting the following error when I compile:
In function 'int main()':
myq.h(44) Error: inconsistent return types for method '__as' in class
'Queue<int>'

Line 44 is the end of my class declaration.  Is '__as' some kind of
assembler optimization the compiler is making? 

(I compiled a version that just used pointers for front and back and it
worked fine)

Here is myq.h and after that myq.cc:
// ******************PUBLIC OPERATIONS*********************
// void Enqueue( Etype X )--> Insert X
// void Dequeue( )        --> Remove least recently inserted item
// Etype Front( )         --> Return least recently inserted item
// int IsEmpty( )         --> Return 1 if empty; else return 0
// int IsFull( )          --> Return 1 if full; else return 0
// void MakeEmpty( )      --> Remove all items
// ******************ERRORS********************************
// Predefined exception is propogated if new fails
// EXCEPTION is called for Front or Dequeue on empty queue

#ifndef __Queue
#define __Queue

#include <stdlib.h>
#include "List.h"

template <class Etype>
class Queue
{
  public:
    Queue( ) : _Front( _Line ), _Back( _Line ) { }
    ~Queue( );

    Queue & operator=( const Queue & Rhs );

    void Enqueue( const Etype & X );
    void Dequeue( );
    const Etype & Front( ) const;
    int IsEmpty( ) const      { return +_Front; }
    int IsFull( ) const       { return 0; }
    void MakeEmpty( );
  private:
    List<Etype> _Line;
    ListItr<Etype> _Front;
    ListItr<Etype> _Back;

#endif

        }

       _Front.First(); // moving _Front to the first item so Front

    else
