  • Overload dereference operator

    - by zilgo
    I'm trying to overload the dereference operator, but compiling the following code results in the error 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'X' to 'int': struct X { void f() {} int operator*() const { return 5; } }; int main() { X* x = new X; int t = *x; delete x; return -898; } What am I doing wrong?

  • Dereferencing the null pointer

    - by zilgo
    The standard says that dereferencing the null pointer leads to undefined behaviour. But what is "the null pointer"? In the following code, what we call "the null pointer": struct X { static X* get() { return reinterpret_cast<X*>(1); } void f() { } }; int main() { X* x = 0; (*x).f(); // the null pointer? (1) x = X::get(); (*x).f(); // the null pointer? (2) x = reinterpret_cast<X*>( X::get() - X::get() ); (*x).f(); // the null pointer? (3) (*(X*)0).f(); // I think that this the only null pointer here (4) } My thought is that dereferencing of the null pointer takes place only in the last case. Am I right? Is there difference between compile time null pointers and runtime according to C++ Standard?
