c++ - Cant static cast class to integer -

why getting error when seek static cast element* int

typedef element* elementptr int element::getvp (elementptr item) { homecoming static_cast <int>(item); // have class called element }

not sure what's question, sense want implicit conversion function. convert element int, want operator int()

struct element { operator int() { homecoming i; } int i; }; int element::getvp (element* item) { homecoming (*item); // have class called element }

but it's still not clear why need getvp in element class.

it' show how convert struct/class int type. i'll delete reply if it's not want.

c++ static-cast
