Question

#include<iostream>

class _ctor
{
public:
_ctor() { std::cout<<"\nCtor";}
~_ctor(){ std::cout<<"\nDtor";}
};

_ctor A(); // --> Is the Constructor Really called? I do not see the Output printed
//_ctor A;

int main(){
return 0;
}

The Output of the above code is given in this Link
I don’t see the constructor getting called, what could be the problem?? If it is not supposed to be called then what does this mean _ctor A();?

Answer 1

You declared a function called A() which returns a _ctor, and you never called that function. You never even defined that function.

No, the constructor of _ctor is not being called.
