In C++ classes, why the semi-colon after the closing brace? I regularly forget it and get compiler errors, and hence lost time. Seems somewhat superfluous to me, which is unlikely to be the case. Do people really do things like:
class MyClass
{
.
.
.
} MyInstance;
I get it from a C compatibility point of view for structs and enums, but since classes aren't part of the C language I guess it's primarily there the keep consistency between similar declaration constructs.
What I was looking for was more related to design rationale rather than being able to change anything, although a good code completion IDE might trap this before compilation.
