I have an iterator that points, well not points but is an iterator of a
vector that contains pointers, to a pointer.

ie vector<Class *> vCon;
vector<Class *>::iterator iter;

(code to set iter to a specific place in vector)
Now, Class has overloaded several operators (in my case I overloaded the
operator <<.

The question is, why doesn't
*(*iter) << rvalue;   work?

My error is this...
..c:65: invalid operands `Class *' and `char' to binary `operator <<'

The Class isn't really called that but you get the idea, source file names
changed to protect innocent naming schemes.

It isn't sufficient to overload operator<<(); you have to overload it
for suitable type for rvalue. You haven't specified what type 'rvalue'
is, though the error message suggests that it's a 'char'. How did you
declare the overloaded operator?
