[Dev-C++] Overloading ()()

[Marc H. <ma...@e-...>]

Hi All,

I am developing a class for use as a type. So let's imagine the following
scenario (this example is contrived and not useful in any way, but it
shorter than the code for my class):

class CNumber
{
public:
	CNumber(int n = 0) : m_n(n) {};
	virtual ~CNumber() {};
	unsigned char operator()()
	{
		return (unsigned char) m_n;
	};
	long operator()()
	{
		return (long) m_n;
	};
private:
	int m_n;
};

Compiling this tells me that the () operators cannot be overloaded! If I
remove one of them, then it compiles just fine. Are you going to tell me
that I can only overload the () operator once?
