compiler not detecting the error !!!

[enigmatrix]

CTime time;

time.CTime::GetCurrentTime();

//above statement is passed through the compiler
//but no errors or warnings have been issued
//I was compiling with Visucal C++ 6.0

What error do you expect the compiler to throw? Can you give more detail about what it is all about?

Your statement doesn't look right. GetCurrentTime is a static funciton of CTime. Try this instead

CTime time;
time = CTime::GetCurrentTime();

I just tried it... It works even though it looks wrong but this statement equivalent to
time.GetCurrentTime();

Since GetCurrentTime() is a static fucntion you don't have to create an instance of CTime to call it. You can call it directly just like c-library function. CTime:: part of the statement just specifies the scope where the function can be found.
