This is not what you think it is.  In C++, this is the same as:

      B A(0, 1);

i.e., a declaration and definition of a variable named A, of type B,
initialized using a B's constructor that takes two arguments that can
be implicitly converted from `0' and `1', respectively.

If you want to construct a temporary, casting it to void or anything
else that disambiguates the statement so that it is cannot be
interpreted as a declaration should be fine.
