int geta(){return a;} //error

error C2629: unexpected 'int ('

Looks OK to me. Well, the code does, VC6 is obsolete.
If you had read the FAQ, you would have known to post the smallest bit
of complete code that shows the problem. In this fragment we can't find
the cause of any of those errors. I don't see the line with "int ("

The problem must be in code that you didn't post. The following
compiles on my system...

class A{
private:
int a;
public:
A(){a=0;}

int geta(){return a;} //error
};

int main()
{
return 0;
}

fails with g++ too:
9: error: 'GENES' does not name a type
