- 1per @Dave Rager's answer, I don't think this will compile on all compilers. See my comment on his answer. Apparently, according to the c++ standard, you can't chain implicit conversions like this. You can only do one conversion and no more.Jonathan Henson– Jonathan Henson2013-03-15 17:44:53 +00:00Commented Mar 15, 2013 at 17:44
- OK sorry, didn't actually compile this. Updated the example and it's still horrible, IMO.futlib– futlib2013-03-16 06:56:17 +00:00Commented Mar 16, 2013 at 6:56

How to Format

like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
