Compiler Error C2534

'identifier' : constructor cannot return a value

A constructor cannot return a value or have a return type (not even a void return type).

This error may be fixed by removing the return statement from the constructor definition.

The following sample generates C2534:

// C2534.cpp
class A {
public:
   int i;
   A() { return i; }   // C2534
};
