operator overloading is nice when you're doing something like defining a vector class.

granted, I've NEVER had to do that besides when I'm fucking around at home, during first year Uni, or at a job interview.

Still seems like somebody in the world had to make a vector class. he probably used operator overloading.

Preprocessor macros are really cool if you're into meme-tuning your languag for solo-projects.
Same for operator overloading .

Most of the C libraries and raw pointers.

Friends

You obviously never worked on a larger codebase if you consider those things useless. They should not be mindlessly abused, but they have their place.

Wow OP (and others) really knows what he's talking about! :^)

>>53752720
No they are always useless

>>53752561
Operator overloading has his uses.
Even in math alone I there is a lot of uses for all kind of number types.

That said:

the way they are implemented just make things more confusing instead of more secure

>most functional stuff
it has no place in C++

I fell bad for anyone taking this thread seriously.
