[C++]Operator overloading

[shout]

In a recent post by MyndFyre, he told someone to overload the << and >> to make a buffer look cool. I did this, but now I have a problem.

If I do something like:

Code Select Expand


*buff << dwval;

it works. But:

Code Select Expand


*buff << dwval1 << dwval2;

gives me a

Code Select Expand


error C2296: '<<' : illegal, left operand has type 'Buffer *' bufftest.cpp 130


This is my first venture into C++ operator overloading :/

You're probably returning the wrong type in your operator<<.  You should return *this.

Yes, that worked. I was returning a pointer to the class. I see my error now.

Thanks for trying to blame me!
