Re: [Boost-users] [operator] Can't figure out syntax

Peter, AFAIK operator += or operator -= signature must contain a return value. In your case it can probably be void. template<class U> void operator+=(U offset) { ... } ... Best Regards, Ovanes On Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 10:41 AM, Peter wrote:

Assuming I have a class like the following:

template <typename T> struct point : boost::additive { T x_; T y_;

explicit point(T x=0, T y=0) : x_(x), y_(y) { }

operator += (T offset) { x_ += offset; y_ += offset; }

operator -= (T offset) { x_ -= offset; y_ -= offset; } }

Now I want to change the addition and subtraction operators to allow for different types using the following template

class point ...

template <typename U> operator += (U offset) { x_ += offset; y_ += offset; }

template <typename U> operator -= (T offset) { x_ -= offset; y_ -= offset; }

...

I cannot figure out how to write the proper syntax for the boost::additive class, so that it generates the proper additional operators for all type combinations. Is that possible, at all?

Thanks, Peter
