Is it possible to design a user-defined data type that the designer can also dictate its behavior if declared signed or unsigned (by the user)?
Is it even possible to say something like:
and have the option of:Code:myClass objName;
???Code:unsigned myClass objName;
use templates.

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!

Not really, but you can get close with template specialization:
Code:enum signedness { SIGNED, UNSIGNED }; template <signedness T> class my_class {}; template<> class my_class<SIGNED> { public: my_class() { std::cout<<"signed my_class\n"; } }; template<> class my_class<UNSIGNED> { public: my_class() { std::cout<<"unsigned my_class\n"; } }; int main() { my_class<SIGNED> foo; my_class<UNSIGNED> bar; }
My best code is written with the delete key.
thanx, that should help a bit, no pun intended.
