Hi:
I made a simple code(t.cpp) like below

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "helo! world.\n";
return(0);
};

$gcc t.cpp (causes the following dumps. What's the problem?)

You used gcc instead of g++.

... and put a semicolon after a global function...
... and misspelled 'hello'. :-)

I used to put semicolons after an expression as possible. Because it
is easier to spot errors mechanically
for me and for compiler to report errors sooner. e.g.

struct A {
  int f(int n) {
    int i=0;
    while(i<n) {
      ++i;
    }; // this semicolon is often seen absent

    do { --i;
      if(i==1) {
      } else {
      }; // this semicolon is often seen absent

      if(i==1) {
      }; // this semicolon is often seen absent
    } while(i>=0);

    for(i=0; i<n; ++i) {
    }; // this semicolon is often seen absent

    for(i=0; i<n; ++i) try{
    }
    catch(...) {
      return -1;
    }; // this semicolon is often seen absent
  };

}; // end struct A

Is this a valid C++ program? Even f() is global? Thanks first.
