>> operator

Hi,

I came accross this command line "#define PIDHASH_SZ (4096 >> 2)", but
I didn't find any information about the >> operator. Could anyway give
me a brief explanation?

Thanks,

Andre

Right-shift.

4096 >> 2 is equal to 1024

Think bits. If we take 16 bit ints (for brevity):

4096 is 00010000 00000000

Right shift once:

00001000 00000000 (That's 2048)

Right shift again:

00000100 00000000 (That's 1024)

'>>' is the right shift operator
(4096 >> 2) is 4096 shifted right two bits, or 1024.
One suspects that 4096 or 2 or both were symbolic constants in some earlier
form of the code.

Hi all. I have run into a problem of overloading a templatized operator>> by a specialized version of it. In short (complete code below), I have written a stream class, STR, which defines a templatized operator>>() as a member that can deal with the built in C types (int, char, float...) template <class tType> STR& STR::operator>>(tType & t); I then attempted to add an overloaded version of this to support my own

It seems that the problems have something to do with the overloading of istream operator ">>", but I just can't find the exact problem. // the declaration friend std::istream & operator>(std::istream & in, const Complex & a); // the methods correspond to the friend std::istream & operator>(std::istream & in, const Complex & a) { std::cout << "real: ";
