assignment operator with multiple arguments?

[bartoli]

I would like to assign an object of a class C, from multiple parameters in differnet variables.
I could make a structure containing all those parameters and an assignment operator for this type, but that would mean an additionnal copy of the value or address of each parameter.
Are we allowed to define an assignmeent operator
C& C::operator=(P1 param1, P2 param2);
that would be callled like

C c1;
c1 =(32,"apple");

No. Even if C++ allowed it, it would be a bad idea. The whole point of overloading operators is to make the code more intuitive and natural.

cl = (32,"apple"); is not intuitive or natural. It's weird and unwieldly.

No need for the assignment operator here. Just have a Set or Assign function:

cl.Set(32,"apple");

Or call a constructor explicitly:

c1 = C( 32, "apple" );

Ok thanks,
I would have prefered an 'automatic' assignment from my set of parameter to my class C. I will maybe also create a new constructor.
