I have following scenario

class X {

  public:
     int operator [](int);
      ....
      .....
   };

X x;
X * x1=x;

I want to use X.operator[] via x1. That would mean that I will have to use following
syntax:

(*x1)[10] to access 10th element.

However, a more natural way could be to use it like
x1->[10].

Would like your comments on this, or if there are alternatives.

Just for those, who want to know, why I have to use like this is that I am creating
various vector and other objects in the shared memory. Now various processes 
interfacing this can access these objects via pointers interfaces to the shared 
memory. 

Basically, I wanted to use shared memory as program heap, with my own memory 
management. Lot of details are missing from above example, however, if anyone wants,
I can provide them.

Would appreciate your ideas, comments and if any better solutions you have in mind.

Thanks
