 # Compiler Error C2461
 
 > '*class*' : constructor syntax missing formal parameters
 
+## Remarks
+
 The constructor for the class does not specify any formal parameters. The declaration of a constructor must specify a formal parameter list. The list can be empty.
 
 To fix this issue, add a pair of parentheses after the declaration of *class*::**class*.

 An anonymous structure, union, or enumerated type is defined inside a parenthetical expression. This is invalid in C++ because the definition is meaningless in function scope.

 An array is allocated or declared with size zero. The constant expression for the array size must be an integer greater than zero. An array declaration with a zero subscript is legal only for a class, structure, or union member and only with Microsoft extensions ([/Ze](../../build/reference/za-ze-disable-language-extensions.md)).
