FWIW, here's the HP aCC 3 error message for this program. Does it make
it clear where the problem is?
Error 583: "t.cpp", line 15 # Left side of '.' requires a class object;
type found was a function 'guardian ()'. Did you try to declare an
object with a nested constructor call? Such a declaration is interpreted
as a function declaration "guardian
guard()" ["t.cpp", line 14].
std::cout << guard.get() << std::endl;
^^^^^
