How do I define an implicit typecast from my class to a scalar?
- by Delan Azabani
I have the following code, which uses a Unicode string class from a library that I'm writing:
#include <cstdio>
#include "ucpp"
main() {
ustring a = "test";
ustring b = "ing";
ustring c = "- -";
ustring d;
d = "cafe\xcc\x81";
printf("%s\n", (a + b + c[1] + d).encode());
}
The encode method of the ustring class instances converts the internal Unicode into a UTF-8 char *. However, because I don't have access to the char class definition, I am unsure on how I can define an implicit typecast (so that I don't have to manually call encode when using with printf, etc).
