[SNIP!]

Did you try:

   bool operator==(const CFoo& x) const

I may be being brain dead here, but I have the following problem:

I've delcared a list of class CFoo, as follows

list<CFoo> FooList;

I'm calling remove() on the list, so I need to declare an operator == in class
CFoo. Here's how I've done it:

bool operator==(CFoo x)
{
    bool fRet = false;
    // do the comparison
    return fRet;
}

This compiles and works (under VC5). Of course, what I really want to do take
a reference to CFoo in the operator==. The problem is that I get a compiler
error when done this way: "binary '==' : no operator defined which takes a
left-hand operand of type 'class CFoo' (or there is no acceptable
conversion)"

Can anyone see what I've done wrong?

TIA,
manish

Try using bool operator==(const CFoo& x) {...}
