C++ constructor outside of class is not (always) recognised as constructor

[oxisto]

It seems that a constructor outside of a class is only recognised if the class is known. Otherwise, it is recognised as a method declaration with an empty type - which is slightly off.

Example code:

int main() {
  SomeClass* c = new SomeClass();
}

SomeClass::SomeClass() {
}

My suggestions would be that the following must be present in order for it to be recognised as a constructor:

• empty type declaration
• parent name == local name
