Template member operators.

[Alan Woodland]

Is the following construct legal? If yes how does one actually call the
operator? I've tried quite a few variations on way of calling this, all
to no avail.

class Foo {
public:
template <typename Tconst T& operator*() const
};

Thanks,
Alan

Appologies:

This line:

template <typename Tconst T& operator*() const

Should read as:

template <typename Tconst T& operator*() const;

int main ( void ) {
Foo f;
f.operator*<int>();
}
