Compiler Warning (level 2) C4285
return type for 'identifier::operator ->' is recursive if applied using infix notation
The specified operator->() function cannot return the type for which it is defined or a reference to the type for which it is defined.
The following sample generates C4285:
// C4285.cpp
// compile with: /W2
class C
{
public:
C operator->(); // C4285
// C& operator->(); C4285, also
};
int main()
{
}
