Hi, 

I noticed that Qt uses "int operator==(foo, bar)" while my C++ book 
(Stroustrup) says something about "bool operator==(foo, bar)". Is it just 
sad that gcc doesn`t warn about this, or is it really useful/legal 
to do something like that ? 

Are there compilers out there needing this specific return type ?

I'm just wondering.. it seems to have a dramatic effect on code generation 
for g++/gcc when changing the return type to "bool". strange world.
