[C++-sig] Overloads.html

[William Trenker]

It would be really helpful if the example in overloads.html included a 
second, overloaded definition of the member function f().

I tried adding another "f" member function as follows (notice that I made 
the number of arguments the same):

...
struct X
{
    Y& f(int x, double y = 4.25, char const* z = "wow")
    {
        return inner;
    }
    int f(int x, int y, int z) { return x + y + z; };  //another f with 3 
args
    Y inner;
};
...

Of course what also needs to be shown are the modifications to the 
class_<>.def's in this extended example. (If I understand the relevent 
discussion in the mailing list, there has to be a properly type-coerced 
class_<>.def() for each overloaded variant of f().)

Can someone post the completed example with this additional f() member fully 
implemented?

Another useful example would be where the overloaded function also involves 
a base class; perhaps a "struct Z : public X" where Z has yet another 
version of f(), also with 3 arguments. And to cover all the bases, how about 
including an override of a member function that has the same signature as a 
member function in the base class, sort of like this:

Struct Z : public X {
	void f(void*, char*, double);  //yet another signature
	int f(int x, int y, int z);    //overrides an identical signature in the 
base class
};

My interest in these clarifications is practical; the FLTK GUI I am 
attempting to wrap is full of overloads and sub-classes.

Thanks,
Bill

ps: In overloads.html, the line of code reading "stryct Y {};" needs 
changing to "struct Y {};".
