Compiler Error C2549

user-defined conversion cannot specify a return type

The following sample generates C2549:

// C2549.cpp  
// compile with: /c  
class X {  
public:  
   int operator int() { return value; }   // C2549  
  
   // try the following line instead  
   // operator int() { return value; }  
private:  
   int value;  
};
