Why is there no calling of the constructor here (Visual Studio C++ 2013)?

I have a short code segment here with visual studio 2013 to test my controls that I am writing:

//void CbmpLoadView::OnRButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
void CbmpLoadView::OnRButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{

	TestCDCDirectControls t1();
	int x2;
	x2 = 2;  // break pont set here
}

//TestCDCDirectControls.h

class TestCDCDirectControls : public CDCDirectControls
	{
	public:
		CDCDirectControls CDC_c1;

		TestCDCDirectControls(); //declare the initializer
		inline ~TestCDCDirectControls(){ return; };  // default destructor just return
	};

and

//TestCDCDirectControls.cpp

#include "stdafx.h"

#include "CDCDirectControls.h"
#include "TestCDCDirectControls.h"

/*This class is used to test the CDCDirectControls to make sure that they are working.  When an instance is created, it tests the CDC Direct Controls */
TestCDCDirectControls::TestCDCDirectControls(){
		int x;   
		x = 1; //I have the debug break point set here
		return;
};

I have the debug point set at the line above in "TestCDCDirectControls.cpp" to stop there. But it seems that the constructor is never called, because when I press the right mouse button, it stops at the debug line:

x2 = 2;

But it never stops at the debug line:

x=1;

What is going on, and how can I get it to stop at the debug line

x=1;

?


Answer: I adjusted the code like this and everything worked as expected, creating a method inside t1 so that it did something. I am glad that issue was relatively easy to get through.

//void CbmpLoadView::OnRButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
void CbmpLoadView::OnRButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{

	TestCDCDirectControls t1;
	int x2;
	x2 = 2;
	x2 = t1.ReturnX1();

}

Creating the method was specifically required; if I commented the method ReturnX1 out, then the constructor was not called again (at least the debug point was not reached)!
