How to define a static operator<<?
- by Pietro M
Is it possible to define a static insertion operator which operates on the static members of a class only? Something like:
class MyClass
{
public:
static std::string msg;
static MyClass& operator<< (const std::string& token) {
msg.append(token);
return *this; // error, static
}
};
alternatively:
static MyClass& operator<< (MyClass&, const std::string &token)
{
MyClass::msg.append(token);
return ?;
}
This is how I would like to use it:
MyClass << "message1" << "message2";
Thank you!
