[KLUG Members] ISO C++ forbids

[Adam Williams]

I'm getting the following error:
extint.cpp:8: ISO C++ forbids defining types within return type
extint.cpp:8: return type specification for constructor invalid

when doing a "g++ -c extint.cpp".  Th referenced part of the file looks
like -

extint::extint() {
  value = 0;
 }

and the class definition looks like -

using namespace std;
class extint {
  public:
    extint();
    extint(int v);
    void operator=(int &v);
    void print(ostream *os);
    void set(int v);
    int get();
    string str();
  private:
    int value;
 }

How am I declaring a return type?  To me at least, this object doesn't
look any different than three or four other classes in this project that
compile fine.
