How does a semicolon cause a syntax error?
This is the error:
array.cpp(49): error C2059: syntax error : ';'
And this is the line of code it came from:
reg = s.default_value_*;
When I put parentheses around the default_value_* part, I get
syntax error : '('
instead. Any ideas?
default_value_ is an std::auto_ptr and I am trying to assign the value of its object to reg, a variable. according to http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/std/memory/auto... the * operation "Returns a reference to the value pointed by the auto_ptr object."

A semi-colon is used to complete a statement, and this:
reg = s.default_value_*;
is an incomplete statement.
What exactly are you trying to do there?
Edit:
operator*, when used as a unary operator, is a prefix operator.
reg = *s.default_value_;
