Lines: 17 A question: Given a class declaration, if I declare an `` operator = () '' (or operator-anything-else) *as a private member function* what happens?

Or does the existing definition remain outside of the scope of the class and friends? -- from Mole End Mark Terribile (scrape .. dig ) mtx5b!mat (Please mail to mtx5b!mat, NOT mtx5a! mat, or to mtx5a!mtx5b!mat) (mtx5b!mole-end!mat will also reach me) ,.. .,, ,,, ..,***_*.
