Two big problems with overloading << for streams are operator precedence (the precedence of << makes little sense for a stream operator) and the fact that the chained syntax can make the whole thing ambiguous (which is kind of a subset of the precedence problem), e.g.: cout << x << 3, does that shift x by 3, or output x and 3 separately? |
