Having had a look at the C++ FAQ, comp.lang.c++ & comp.std.c++ archives and Stroustrup's FAQs (particularly the following: <url:http://www.research.att.com/~bs/bs_faq2.html#overload-dot/>) I am left to wondering why Stroustrup doesn't mention the *_cast<> operators or operator .* in that particular FAQ. Archived discussions have convinced me that .* _cannot_ be overloaded. I have gathered a notion (perhaps incorrectly) that the *_cast<> operators cannot be overloaded as well. Hence this post. Awaiting enlightenment. -- Suman Back to top Rayer Guest Posted: Wed Jun 14, 2006 9:10 am    Post subject: Re: Can we overload *_cast<> operators?
