I'd like to have a variable act as a function call. For example:

Foo& getFoo();

foo; // really calls getFoo

you're saying there is a function which reruns a reference to a foo and you want it called when you just say foo; you're throwing away the return?

Not at all. I would like something that acts exactly like: # define foo getFoo() except that it must be codable from within another macro definition. It's not throwing away the return since: foo.bar(); should act exactly like: getFoo().bar(); Noel
