Compiler Issue or human error?

[Dave Williss]

Are you using gcc or g++?  gcc won't parse C++, so it doesn't know what 
"class" is.

John Love-Jensen already pointed out your sizeof() problem.  I 
personally would never memset a class to 0 in the ctor unless you're 
very sure that you're never going to add members which will have their 
own constructors.  It's just asking for trouble down the road.  It's 
better to write the constructor as:

 CThreadContext::CThreadContext (
      ) :
     m_hThread(0),
     m_dwTID(0),
     m_pUserData(0),
     m_pParent(0),
     m_dwExitCode(0)
     { }
