This is something I've been thinking about creating, and am trying to get the pieces together. I want to be able to assign values in a method accepting different types. I.E. MyInstance.MyMethod("IntField") = 1; MyInstance.MyMethod("FloatField") = 2.34f; MyInstance.MyMethod("StringField") = std::string("Hello"); Is this possible? I know I could do it using function overloading by passing the parms, I.E. MyInstance.MyMethod("IntField", 1); MyInstance.MyMethod("FloatField", 2.34f); MyInstance.MyMethod("StringField", std::string("Hello"); I'm thinking to use the assignment I would need to return a LHV, a reference to what was being assigned. I think I just answered my own question. Whatever I am returning would need to have operator=() overloaded for each type. Is this the way to go?
