Define an empty constructor in c++

Question

In main.cpp

LLC* llc = new LLC();

Here is the constructor in llc.cpp

LLC::LLC() :
{
    cout<<"test"<<endl;
}

Here is the error that I get:

llc.cpp(36): error: expected an identifier
{
^

What mistake am I making? The constructor is given in the public section of the class LLC in the header file of llc.cpp

Answer 1

LLC::LLC() :
{
    cout<<"test"<<endl;
}

should be

LLC::LLC()
{
    cout<<"test"<<endl;
}

Answer 2

You are specifying the Member Initializing List in your constructor by adding a :. That's why the compiler is expecting an identifier there. You should remove the : if you do not intend to initialize any members there.

LLC::LLC() // Absense of :
{
    cout<<"test"<<endl;
}
