pointer to global arithmetic operator?

possible? google fails me. i'l like to make an operator funtor that doesn't rely on a designator code

What do you mean by "designator code" and why does it have to be global.

by designator code i mean chars containing the ascii representation of the operator.

global may be the wrong word - i mean operators for POD - int, float, etc. non-class-member operators.

So you don't want to call it "+"? What do you want to call it, then? Wouldn't it just then be a plain old function?

i thought so, it certainly is the case for member operators, their semantics are identical to pointer-to-member functions, but trying it with POD operators yields syntax errors

O_o

I don't understand.

Show us what you want to do--even if it doesn't work.

argh gotta walk the dogs. brb in like 60 mins...

Er. operators on primitive types aren't functions. Rather they are compiled to machine instructions. as such you can't have a pointer to them.

You can have a pointer to a function that adds two numbers however.

Does that help?

yes that answers my question thx.
