The example below compiles fine with "A a();" in main replaced with "A a;".

AFAIK there should be no problem with either syntax..

struct A {
A() { }
void fn() { }
};

void main() {
A a();
a.fn();
// Error: not a struct or union type
// Warning 6: value of expression is not used
}

Low priority.

This declares "a" as a function returning A.

AFAIK, DMC's behaviour is correct.
