ambiguous operator>>(char &)

In header file istream there is an overload for every built-in type,
except char. Is there a reason for this?
GCC 3.3.4. is the compiler.
Thanks.

For char and others there's a global operator>>, not member of
istream..
See [27.6.1.2.3] character extraction templates.

Thanks Mehturt. I read that. However, I could not see a technical
reason. So the question is this. Is it a decision, or there is a sound
technical reason for specializing the operator for bool (which is a
char) but not for types of char and "unsigned char"? For instance, if I
do it myself in the header file, will something go wrong at run time? I
am not saying that I will actually change the system header file.

Thanks.

Hi, My question is how to resolve in C# ambiguous overloaded operators? Let say, I have two unrelated classes A and B, each one implements overloaded operator + with the first parameter of type A, and the second one of type B. Let say, these are not my classes and I know nothing about the implementation. As system doesn't know what code must be used for resolving the language construction a+b (where A a; and B b;), it returns "The call...

Hi to all, I'm working on a smart pointer implementation and I'm trying to get automatic type conversion between different pointer types. I stumbled upon something weird (at least for me) I summarized it in the code below. I was expecting both things at the end to work or not work at all.... Any insight? Thanks in advance, Francesco

To start off, I'm using GCC4. Specifically, the MingW (setjmp/longjmp) build of GCC 4.2.1 on Windows XP x64. I'm writing a class that abstracts a message, which can be either an integer (stored as long long int), a decimal (double), or a string (std::string). I basically want to overload most of a Message's operators so that the Message class feels more like a native type. For example... Message msg = "tester"; std::string str = msg;...
