Overload "->*" operator

Question

I have gone through operator overloading tutorial. I haven't find any example of overloading "->*". It has been told that the mentioned operator is rare and used mostly in expression template.

Can someone enlighten with the details of overloading the operator "->*"?

@KarolyHorvath: That's what I thought initially, but then realised that `a->*b` is for calling a member function on `a` through a member-function-pointer `b`. — Oliver Charlesworth, Feb 01 '14 at 12:11

R &K::operator ->*(S b);

R &operator ->*(K a, S b);
