Thread: template operators

Hi !

I'd like to know whether it's possible, for an operator, to be a template (using vc++6). More specifically, suppose I've got a template class

Code:

template <class T> class Pointer <T>
{ T *p;
}

I'd like to have an operator that converts type T* to type Pointer <T>. But vc++ does not allow the following syntax :

Code:

template <class T> operator Pointer <T> (T *p);

So, what should I write instead ?
Thanks for your help !
