3 qwestions

1. Is there any performance or memory overheads on using a class wrapping an integrated datatype like char, that is than using a regular char.
2. How do you define how to (implicitely) cast from a class to integrated datatype?
3. A class is deriving a template twice with two different sets of parameters, will a function within the template act as overloaded if you pass 2 different datatypes as templates of the passed parameters of the original template instantiations? Can i access both versions without using this workaround? In that case can i use a couple of inline function within the derivative to access the two versions without any overhead? If so, can the original functions within still be inline? Maybe i'm just paranoid, but i want to be sure.

2) I think you can do this with operator overloading.

Code:

---

void operator= (int nNum);

---

This will overload the int datatype.

Thanks Megatron, i'll try that, although i was almost sure it was the other way around.
