I am porting a program from (I think) g++ to MS-DOS (in this case Turbo C++).
There is a piece of code, which causes some trouble:

	...
	class foo;
	...
	foo* func(operand1);
	...

produces the error message:

	Undefined symbol operand1

If I rewrite it to:

	...
	void* func(operand1);
	...

no problems while compiling.

It is told to work in g++.

Is the code unportable, am I missing something, or does the Turbo C++ have its
own personality?

Thanks in advance,

Laszlo
