I have this code
class M
{
.....
T operator()( size_t x, size_t y ) const
{ ... Operator overloading A ....}
T& operator()( size_t x, size_t y )
{ ... Operator overloading B .... }
}
Then i use the following code
M m;
int i=m(0,0); // Call A
m(0,0)=5; //Call B
I expect "Call A" to cause "Operator overloading A" to be called and
"Call B" to cause "Operator Overloading B" to be called.
What happens under visual studio 7.0 is that Operator overloading B is
always called.
Is this correct?
Thanks in advance,

It will happen everywhere, not only in VS 7. Since your 'm' is not
constant, the non-const variation of operator() will be called.

The result type is not used to determine which function to call, only
the arguments. For member functions you can regard the 'this' pointer
as an argument in essentially the same way as others, and the difference
is that for function A you have an 'M const*' argument, whereas for B
you have an 'M*' argument. Call the function on a const object and
you'll invoke function A.

The object m is NOT const, so the non-const overload is always
called. Whether you are using the return value (or what the
return value is) never plays a part in the selection of an function
overload.
The const operator would only be selected if m were const.

Others have explained why this is correct. If you wish to override
this, you could const_cast it:
int i = const_cast<const M&>(m)(0, 0); // Call A

Thanks everyone for the nice explanation....
Then i have one more question: i would like the () operator to behave
differently if the object is used as a left or right value. Is there
any way to do this???
Greets,
Luca
