Operator Mangling

Operators also require some form of mangling to allow overloading them in user defined types. Ferrous simply looks up operators by their symbol and retrieves their mangled name from an enum.

Every operator function in Ferrous uses the fe.op. prefix to uniquely identify them without colliding with the user definable identifier range.

The following lists contain all valid overloadable operators in Ferrous:

Arithmetic Operators
