Question

I tried creating a class with one operator bool and one operator void*, but the compiler says they are ambigous. Is there some way I can explain to the compiler what operator to use or can I not have them both?

class A {
public:
    operator void*(){
        cout << "operator void* is called" << endl;
        return 0;
    }

    operator bool(){
        cout << "operator bool is called" << endl;
        return true;
    }
};

int main()
{
    A a1, a2;
    if (a1 == a2){
        cout << "hello";
    }
}

You could call the operator directly.

int main()
{
    A a1, a2;
    if (static_cast<bool>(a1) == static_cast<bool>(a2)){
        cout << "hello";
    }
} 

In this case, though, it looks like you should define operator==() and not depend on conversions.
