ostream::operator <<
C++リファレンスを見た後、
次の宣言に気付きました。
ostream& operator<< (bool val);
ostream& operator<< (short val);
ostream& operator<< (unsigned short val);
ostream& operator<< (int val);
ostream& operator<< (unsigned int val);
ostream& operator<< (long val);
ostream& operator<< (unsigned long val);
ostream& operator<< (float val);
ostream& operator<< (double val);
ostream& operator<< (long double val);
ostream& operator<< (void* val);
ostream& operator<< (streambuf* sb );
ostream& operator<< (ostream& (*pf)(ostream&));
ostream& operator<< (ios& (*pf)(ios&));
ostream& operator<< (ios_base& (*pf)(ios_base&));
しかし、その後、次の宣言もあることがわかりました。
ostream& operator<< (ostream& os, char c);
ostream& operator<< (ostream& os, signed char c);
ostream& operator<< (ostream& os, unsigned char c);
ostream& operator<< (ostream& os, const char* s);
ostream& operator<< (ostream& os, const signed char* s);
ostream& operator<< (ostream& os, const unsigned char* s);
文字/文字列出力演算子がメンバー関数ではないのはなぜですか?
