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

[Graham D. <g.d...@nt...>]

Actually, I thought your first answer was absolutely correct. Hardly 
anything in the original post suggested that tho OP was trying to 
implement conversion operators. The OP asked about overloading 
operator() and the sample code showed an attempt to overload operator(), 
since there were two sets of parentheses shown, and the word operator 
came after the type. When I read it, I assumed that this was simply an 
inappropriate use of operator() to do some type conversion. I.e. I 
though that the intent was to use it as:

CNumber n;

char c = n();  // attempt to call char CNumber::operator()();
long l = n();   // attempt to call long CNumber::operator()();

Doomed to failure, of course, because, as you pointed out, you can't 
overload on return type and also because using operator() in this way is 
wholly inappropriate.
