Thank you very much -- that worked, but is there any good reason why I
should not be allowed to put a space there? When I can use:

:: *

in the same programs without an error, why can't I use

. *

or

-> *

(I like having my code neatly and generously spaced since I feel it
looks cleaner.)

I get no problem if I space the . and -> in other cases like:

QWidget . show () ;

or

this -> show () ;

So if there is no good reason for not being allowed to put a space
between . and * or -> and *, I can report a bug against gcc asking for
this error to be removed for being meaningless.

Thank you.
