[Uenal Mutlu]

Since operator dot ('.') is not defined, is there
maybe a workaround solution possible?

A solution to what problem?

A solution to what problem?

operator.()

operator.()

What is operator.()?

What is operator.()?

My guess is the OP wants to overload it. Since it is not
allowed, the OP wants to see what is available.

To the OP: operator-> is available, operator*() is available.
Make use of those.

Exactly.

I know, but I would like to overload the dot to route
the access to a different class.
I have the feeling that this is somehow already possible,
but haven't figured out yet how.

Well, you might want to hold onto that feeling. Nothing
compares to a dream that can never come true.

Oh, if you ever figure it out, come back and share. C++
programmers love to be surprised when it comes to C++.

You might look at the delegation mechanism described here:

as part of the proposed Boost Interfaces library.

An updated version will be available soon.

Believe it or not, but I've got it! It is possible! And it is so simple.
I'll post it soon. Stay tuned
