   class Test
   {
   protected:
     double xx, yy, zz;
   public:
     Test(doubel, double, double);
   }   		// Semicolon missing!
   
   dummy(){}	// This seems to replace the missing semicolon after the class!
   
   inline Test::Test(double x, doubel y, double z)
   {
     xx=x; yy=y; zz=z;
   }
   
You get what you deserve when you say

	dummy(){}

instead of

	int dummy(){}

If you specify the return type, the compiler will issue an error
message.  Otherwise it needs infinite lookahead to determine whether
or not you made an erroneous declaration.
