operator overloading

["Peter J. Viitasaari" <pjviitas at flash dot lakeheadu dot ca>]

Hello Everyone:

My first time here.

I am having a problems overloading an operator using class templates.
It goes something like this:

template<class T>
class Foo{
public:
   Foo( int );
   Foo<T> & operator=( Foo<T> & )
private:
   int bar;
};
...
...
...
template<class T>
Foo<T> & Foo<T>::operator=( Foo<T> &t )
{
...
...
...
just testing here
      cout << t.bar;
      returm *t
}

This works fine if the right parameter is the same time as "this".
However, it bombs if the input paramter is a different type than T.

I hope someone can illuminate me on this problem.

Peter
