Topic: Operator overloading


  
 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Operator overloading
Because operator overloading allows the programmer to change the usual semantics of an operator, it is usually considered good practice to use operator overloading with care.
In computer programming, operator overloading (less commonly known as ad-hoc polymorphism) is a specific case of polymorphism in which some or all of operators like
Because of this there is often confusion between operator overrides and operator overloads, and most developers blur any distinction and refer to both as operator overloads, which is semantically incorrect.

An operator such as + may be overloaded by defining writing operator+ as a non-member function or as a member of a class.
On the other hand, overloading operator+ as a non-member function may mean that writting the body may be difficult since the non-member version can't directly access the data members of the Money class.
C++ classes, on the other hand, allow operations to be implemented as functions (member functions) which are allowed to make changes in an existing value of the class type.

The function operator+ is neither a member of the object x nor a member of the object y.
Operators can be overloaded either for objects of the user-defined types, or for a combination of objects of the user-defined type and objects of the built-in type.¡ü+C8_ï8_“0[_\8_¨0_+BÔAþþÿþþþ²ªPª & lG¼ó`]Ÿª Ÿ¨·The following is a list of operators that can be overloaded.
Since the result of a relational operator is either true or false, the returnType of the function operator== is Boolean.

 Operator Overloading and "This"
To summarize, sometimes you have a choice of defining the overloaded operator function as a member function or a non-member function.
NOTE: the point of operator overloading is to be intuitive.
The first part is a pen and paper component where you make a table to show your understanding of overloading operators in the two ways discussed above--as member functions and as non-member functions.

 C++ FAQ (part 05 of 11)
Operator overloading makes life easier for the users of a class[13.2], not for the developer of the class!
Suppose further that your operating system (such as DOS or OS/2) insists on translating "\r\n" into "\n" on input from std::cin, and "\n" to "\r\n" on output to std::cout or std::cerr.
But the operator overloading syntax isn't supposed to make life easier for the developer of a class.

 Operator Overloading
Since the function call operator can only be overloaded by a class member function, the previous reference to price refers to the data member of the object used in combination with the call operator.
One reason to overload the function call operator is to provide a shorthand notation for accessing an object's critical data members.
When the overloading function returns, its return value is substituted for the original left operand, and the evaluation process is repeated.

 Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days
Overloading class constructors allows you to create flexible classes that can be created from other objects.
Remember, the goal of overloading operators is to increase usability and understanding.
The precedence order cannot be changed, and the arity of the operator, that is, whether it is unary or binary, cannot be changed.

 operator+ overloading problem - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
Deleting a NULL pointer is a valid operation (which does absolutely nothing and will not crash).
Also, in your operator + you're returning a reference to a temporary object, which is A Bad Thing.
The problem is no doubt inside your copy constructor, you need to define one to perform a deep copy, the implicit one is just copying the pointer to the address, and your destructor is calling operator delete on the memory twice, causing the program to crash.

 Operator Overloading
overloading operator "+" between type A and B is in fact overloading the function "operator+(A,B)" or the member function "operator+(B)" of the A class (A must be a class in this case of course).
Some special points of operators: - You can only overload operators if at least one operand is a class, structure or reference to class or structure.
- the call operator (member function) emulates a function call.

 Andrew Jenner's WebLog : Operator overloading
Programmers who are used to a programming language which doesn't offer operator overloads tend to be rather horrified at this concept the first time they see it (I know I was).
When overloading operators, it is important to respect the meaning + is addition - is subtraction and so on; just about everyone can agree on the semantics.
There is one other argument against operator overloading - that is that it makes it more difficult to see the performance bottlenecks in a program.

 Code Forums - Operator Overloading
These operators could have been defined as a member of the class, but then using these operators wouldn't be as convenient as it is now.
There is no way one can decently understand and implement operator overloading without understanding the basics of a function that returns a reference.
And the overloaded "+" will be overloaded in a different way later (chapter two), to avoid problems that are not relevant now.

 Operator overloading and inheritence: Code critique please - C++
The usual advise advocated in majority of books is to overload operator+= as a member function and then overload operator+ as non member function in terms of operator+=.
And there is a little more convenient approach which requires less typing - use boost operators library.

 C Board - having trouble with overloading operator+
Mind I don't really like the idea of having an overloaded operator return something that's of a different type from the input objects.
You might even consider adding an operator that works on pointers so you can do both types of addition.
Your operator for pointers works just like your current one, something like

 Passing by Value
This kind of operation is called a shallow copy, as opposed to a deep copy which follows all the pointers.
The same kind of value semantics for a user-defined type is accomplished by the use of a copy constructor and an overloaded operator=.
In case shallow copy is not enough, you should provide the appropriate copy constructor and overload the assignment operator.

 Lecture 4: Overloading, Conversions and Constructors
A classic example is a string class - where the concatenation operator needs to know about the specific implementation of the underlying string so it can shift data around - but the usual accessor methods only provide the individual characters, not any information about how these characters are stored.
That means that to generate a complete working set of classes we need to write 16 addition operators, 16 subtraction operators, blah blah blah...
