Re: overloaded operator friends

[Anders Kofoed <anders@cybercom.se>]

Any decent book about C++ should be able to tell you this (not the builder
manuals, since they assume you already know the language)

The quote below is from C++ Primer by Stanley B. Lippman, an excellent book
in my opinion.

"The assignment ("="), subscript("[ ]"), call("( )"), and member selection
("->"), operators are required by the language to be defined as class member
functions. A global instance of these, including a global template function
instance, is flagged at compile time as an error."

Hope that clears up the confusion.
