Problem with "<<" operator

[Pascal Francq <pfrancq at ulb dot ac dot be>]

Hi,
I have a little problem with a class and the << operator:

// MyClass.h
class MyClass
{
 .....
public:
  MyClass& operator<<(bool b);
};

extern "C++"
{
  extern MyClass& dummy(MyClass &myclass);
}



// MyClass.cpp
MyClass& operator<<(bool b)
{
  // Do something
  return(*this);
}

MyClass& dummy(MyClass &myclass)
{
  myclass.AFunction();
  return(myclass);
}



// Main.cpp
int main()
{
  MyClass mc;

  mc<<dummy;
}


The problem is that when I execute the code, the compiler generate a call to
the operator<<(bool) and doesn't execute the code in the dummy function.
