Another thing, are the ADD_OPERATOR macro in your code necessary? It compiles fine without it on Intel C++ 7.1.
The GCC doesn't work without the operators, as it doesn't implicitly tries to satisfy float*pi_t by casting pi_t to float to use float*float. I think this is OK as the language can go for two ways:
a) define float*float and use a promotion/conversion for, say, float*int. b) define several operators float*float, float*int, ...
if it's b), the compiler cannot cast pi_t to float as it doesn't know whether to select float*float or float*int, thus it fails. Maybe a question for the language lawyers over at csc++ to find out what's correct.
It's an odd thing, anyway. Both g++ 3.2 and MSVC 7.1 complains that there's no matching operator*.
FYI: I send the question with a minimalistic example to csc++, should appear there soon. My personal feeling is that GCC/MSVC are correct, but let's see what happens at csc++...
