Are you compiling this in (ObjC-)C++, perchance?

Yes, C++ - it's a .cpp file.

I ask because the C++ language syntax has all kinds of problems thanks to the thoughtless way its grammar was extended (no, I do not worship Stroustrup, unlike---apparently---half the developer community). It may be that the compiler is for some reason treating your function declaration as a declaration of a variable with an initialiser and then barfing.

If that *is* the cause of the problem, I wouldn't be entirely surprised to discover that the standard mandates it. It often seems to come up with---on the face of things unreasonable---meanings for things, but if you read it carefully you can usually see why it was decided that way.

I'm not sure what you're saying the problem might be.
