C++ Official Operator Names / Keywords

Question

Happy Holidays guys.

I have been working on a C++ preprocessor sequence (using boost) to assist me in generating operator based functors. I have so far completed the source, however I was having trouble finding the most appropriate keywords identifying these functors.

More specifically after reviewing the C++0x draft I failed to find the most appropriate (unique) names for the following operators:

• -> and . which are both called in the draft: class member operators
• ->* and .* which are both called: pointer to member operators

Do you think you can help me name them better?

The references I have used so for:

1. The C++0x draft (Can be find online)
2. The "boost/proto/operators.hpp" header which included most of the over-loadable operators.
3. The Operators in C and C++ from Wikipedia which also provided the following names
   • . structure reference
   • -> structure dereference
   • ->* and .* member pointers

Here is the list I have so far created. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this reference.

New, delete, casting, I think there are some more operators and keywords there.
