The following are roughly equivalent:
std::string *a = new std::string();
std::string *a = new std::string("");
or even:
std::string a = std::string();
std::string a = std::string("");
but the following are different:
std::string a(); // function declaration
std::string a("");
See http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ctors.html#faq-10.2 for more
information.
You probably just want to use this line to declare an object on the
stack with the default constructor:
std::string a;
