operator+= between custom complex type and std::complex
I want my custom complex type to be able to interact with std::complex, but in certain cases, the compiler do not convert my type to std::complex.
Here is a minimal working example:
#include <complex>
#include <iostream>
template <typename Expr>
class CpxScalarExpression
{
public:
inline std::complex< double > eval() const { return static_cast<Expr const&>(*this).eval(); }
inline operator std::complex< double >() const { return static_cast<Expr const&>(*this).eval(); }
};
class CpxScalar : public CpxScalarExpression<CpxScalar>
{
public:
CpxScalar() : m_value(0) {}
CpxScalar(const double value) : m_value(value) {}
CpxScalar(const double real_value, const double imag_value) : m_value(real_value, imag_value) {}
CpxScalar(const std::complex< double > value) : m_value(value) {}
template<typename Expr>
CpxScalar(const CpxScalarExpression< Expr >& expr) : m_value(expr.eval()) {}
public:
inline std::complex< double > eval() const { return m_value; }
private:
std::complex< double > m_value;
};
int main()
{
CpxScalar a(10,-5);
//std::complex< double >* b = reinterpret_cast< std::complex< double >* >(&a);
std::complex< double > b = a;
b += a;
//std::cout << b->real() << " " << b->imag();
std::cout << b.real() << " " << b.imag();
}
The compiler fails at deducing which operator+= to call and returns the following error
est.cpp:50:4: error: no match for ‘operator+=’ (operand types are ‘std::complex<double>’ and ‘CpxScalar’)
50 | b += a;
| ~~^~~~

Is there a way to overcome this issue ?
