hi. great, perhaps i''m to dumb to figure this out, or... don''t what''s wrong today: i have overloaded the "[]" operator exactly, for my buffer class. it works, if i do: BufferClass MyBuffer; MyBuffer.Create( 100 ); // create with 100 elements MyBuffer[10] = 10; MyBuffer[99] = 5; // and so on BUT, if i do: BufferClass *MyBuffer; //pointer now !! MyBuffer = new BufferClass( 100 ); // elements in constructor this time ! MyBuffer[10] = 10; MyBuffer[99] = 10; as you can guess, the second way with the pointer don''t work - because, the compiler sees this as a pointer to, and if i do MyBuffer[10] it looks up ten pointer-sizes away and is doing there the insert - protection fault !!! how the f****** hell do i have to overload my operators that this works ???
