[Bug c++/26062] New: "Class object();" is not interpreted as a call to default constructor

["sylvain dot joyeux at m4x dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The following testcase

#include <iostream>

bool flag = true;
class guardian
{
public:
    guardian() { flag = false; }
    ~guardian() { flag = true; }
    bool get() { return flag; }
};

int main()
{
    guardian guard();
    std::cout << guard.get() << std::endl;
    std::cout << flag << std::endl;
}

Leads to the error
error: request for member 'get' in 'guard', which is of non-class type
'guardian ()()'

Note that it makes guard to *not* being constructed at all, which fails
silently if we don't call any method on the object.
