Why is there no call to the constructor? [duplicate]

Answer 1

No call to constructor

Because the constructor never gets called actually.

Class object(); is interpreted as the declaration of a function object taking no argument and returning an object of Class [by value]

Try Class object;

EDIT:

As Mike noticed this is not exactly the same code as what you are feeding to the compiler. Is the constructor/destructor public or is Class a struct?

However google for C++ most vexing parse.
