You can't give the argument to String's constructor in the declaration
of Person.  A C++ compiler should reject the above declaration of the 
'name' member.  Try:

struct Person {
    String name;
    int age;
    Person();  // default constructor for Person
};
Person::Person : name(25) {}  // constructor definition initializes 'name'
