Can we have functions inside functions in C++?

Question

I mean something like:

int main() 
{
  void a() 
  {
      // code
  }
  a();

  return 0;
}

Answer 1

But we can declare a function inside main():

int main()
{
    void a();
}

Although the syntax is correct, sometimes it can lead to the "Most vexing parse":

#include 


struct U
{
    U() : val(0) {}
    U(int val) : val(val) {}

    int val;
};

struct V
{
    V(U a, U b)
    {
        std::cout << "V(" << a.val << ", " << b.val << ");\n";
    }
    ~V()
    {
        std::cout << "~V();\n";
    }
};

int main()
{
    int five = 5;
    V v(U(five), U());
}

=> no program output.

(Only Clang warning after compilation).
