object methods

[pktcperlc++java]

Is it possible to write a method which accepts dot notation from system objects?

for example, is it possible to write soething liek this:

string str;

str.method(args){ statements; }

where method is not defined is string.h?

I don´t think so. Why would you need such thing?

No, you cannot. What is included in a class is fixed. What you might be able to do, however, is create a derived class that adds the new method that you want added.

class MyDerivedString : public string
{
public:
   void method();
};

void MyDerivedString::method()
{
   cout << "method() has been called" << std::endl;
}
