>Description:
The following code fails to compile:

class test{};
int main() {
    test t((test()));
}

The error is:
main.cpp: In function `int main()':
main.cpp:3: parse error before `)' token

I disagree with this error, and so does Comeau C++ 4.3. The declaration can be parsed as an object declaration (but not a function one), so why isn't it?
>How-To-Repeat:
$ echo "class test{};int main(){test t((test()));}" > main.cpp
$ g++ main.cpp
