Thread: Templated operator>>

When trying to use the following code:

Code:

template<class T>
class StreamSource
{
	T source;
public:
	StreamSource() : source()
	{
	}

	const T& getSource()
	{
		return source;
	}

	template<class Y>
	VideoStream<T, Y> operator>>(Y* nextObject)
	{
		return VideoStream<T, Y>(this, nextObject);
	}
};

Gives me the following compiler output:

Code:

VideoStream.h(44) : error C2665: 'VideoStream<T,Y>::VideoStream' : none of the 3 
overloads could convert all the argument types
1>        with

while trying to match the argument list '(StreamSource<T> *const , Etc *)'

1>        ]

All i wanted to do is to create the object VideoStream with the first type the same of the VideoSource::source type and the second type of the type provided by the operator>>. What´s wrong?

Code:

template<class T, class Y>
class VideoStream
{
	T* left;
	Y* right;
public:
	/*VideoStream() : left(), right() 
	{
	}*/

	VideoStream(T left, Y right)
	{
		this->left  = left;
		this->right = right;
	}

	void nextFrame(unsigned char** buffer)
	{
		left->nextFrame(buffer);
		right->nextFrame(buffer);
	}
};

template<class T>
class StreamSource
{
	T source;
public:
	StreamSource() : source()
	{
	}

	const T& getSource()
	{
		return source;
	}

	template<class Y>
	VideoStream<T*, Y*> operator>>(Y* nextObject)
	{
		return VideoStream<T*, Y*>(this, nextObject);
	}
};

Even matching types, i still get errors, now i have posted the VideoStream class too. Ideas?
