Is it possible to overload operators (such as operators of comparison) in C?

If so, how do you do it? I did a quick search, but all I found was for C++, and what I want is for C.

Anyone have any ideas?

Edit1: The idea is: I have a struct, and I need to do a comparison (based on a member of the struct). And for this I would like to associate operators compared to my new “data type”.

Edit2: I am completely aware that I can do without the use of operator overloading, but was wondering if you can do this WITH OVERLOAD.

Answer: The concept of overload is associated with object-oriented programming. Since C is not object oriented and therefore can not contain a concept of overload. (:

    No, it is not possible. C does not support operator overloading by the developer.
