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

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

It is valid in the sense that a class shouldn't implement a lot of type
conversions just because it can. It should still be up to the user to
perorm any typecasts from int to xx.

Normally, operator type() is used to perform type-conversions that may not
be performed by a single type-cast - converting an integer to a string, or
an object that  encapsulates several sub-objects, for example:

class CSurfInfo;
class CVec3;
class CTransform;

class C3DObject {
    public:
        operator CSurfInfo&();
        operator CTransform&();
        operator CVec3&();
};

C3DObject *pObj;
...
setSurface((CSurfInfo*)*pObj);
