Difference between Object var and Object* var = new Object()

Question

If I have a class named Object, what\'s the difference between creating an instance just like that:

Object var;

and:

Object         


        

Answer 1

This:

Object var();

Is a function declaration. It declares a function that takes no arguments and returns an Object. What you meant was:

Object var;

which, as others noted, creates a variable with automatic storage duration (a.k.a, on the stack).
