Operator Overloading in C++/CLI
Author
Hi All,
I am having problems with operator overloading in C++/CLI. I have...
Which seems to work fine, but when I try and call it using...
I get the compile error...
Error 3 Operator '*' cannot be applied to operands of type 'MNW.MNWMatrix' and 'MNW.MNWMatrix' D:\Documents and Settings\rprice\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Terraformer4\Terraformer4\MainForm.cs 1241
Shouldn't operator overloading by handle for managed types be supported?
Thanks

I have never programmed in C++/CLI, and does not really have that much experience with C++ either, but to me it seems like operator* needs to take one more argument. If it would be a class method, then one argument would be fine as the first object is passed anyway as the this pointer, but since it is not, you have to specify both objects/references that is to be passed.
The overload must be a static method and must specify both arguments in its parameter list. In particular, you may want to check out section 19.7 of the C++/CLI language specification(ECMA-372).

Ah, that worked perfectly, thank you!
So, can I ask why there are two formats for doing the same thing?
Thanks
