Michael,

Using GNU C++ 1.36.2 on Sun3, overloading the method call operator
causes a syntax error, although this compiled OK on 1.34.1.  

Our C++ programs depend heavily on the ability to overload the
method call operator.  A solution would be greatly appreciated.

-------------------arrow.cc--------------------------------------------
class base 
  {
  public:
     operator->() (int , int , ...);
  };

class derived : public base
  {
  public:
    void func (int x);
  };

main () 
  { 
    int i;
    derived *d;
    d->func (i);
  }
