Hi,
I was trying to overload concat operator ||(text,text) such a way that
it behaves like Oracle. i.e. I want 'abc' || null to return 'abc'
instead of null.
I know that it is not the expected behaviour in postgres, but since I
am migrating the database from oracle to postgres , I need this
behaviour.
But when I try to drop the existing || operator, I get the following
error
ERROR: cannot drop operator ||(text,text) because it is required by
the database system
Also I cannot modify the application which runs over the database.
Hence I cannot overload || (varchar,varcha r) and use it.
Is there any way of overloading the || operator , such that it behaves
like Oracle? ( I know that Oracle behaviour is wrong , but my aim is
to move an existing application which runs on Oracle to Postgres :-(
)
Thanks,
Abhiman

Your best bet might be to define your own type "oraclevarc har" with stub
implementations of most functions/operators except those you want to
oracle-ise.

I have a question on operator overloading that I can't find an answer to in
several guides (even google has failed me).
I'm currently making my way through several C++ guides, trying to become
familiar with the language's features. The book I'm in the middle of right
now says an operator+ function cannot be const. For example, it seems to
imply:

Hello, this program might look abit long, but it's pretty simple and
easy to follow. What it does is read from a file, outputs the contents
to screen, and then writes them to a different file. It uses map<and
heavy overloading.
The problem is, the output file differs from input, and for the love of
me I can't figure out why ;p

Operator overloads are just like any other member function, you
can make them do whatever you want. However, of course, we might
expect them to behave in a certain way. The ++ operator should perform
some sort of increment, the / operator should do something along the
lines of division.
Do you think it would have been worthwhile for the C++ Standard to
"codify" this expected use of operator overloads? I'll be specific:
Let's say you...

Hi,
Does the following construct qualify as overloading on return type ?
If not, in what way ? I overloaded the type conversion operator and
used pointers to member functions. Its pretty straightforward but I
am sure I have missed as this is not supposed to be possible. Am I
misunderstanding overloading ?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
