Description Sam Hu 2009-07-30 03:00:10 UTC 
With below code:
class A
{
}
class B
{
public:
ref A createA() //  ****without type name A is also OK.**** 
{
    return new A;//q1
}

}

Don't know whether this is a feature or a bug.

It's a feature. :)  When you don't specify a type, the compiler tries to deduce it automatically.
