std::WhateverContainer::iterator::operator->() invokes overloaded "operator&()" of the contained type by Dmitry Me

This behavior is observed in version 10.0.40219.SP1Rel

I have this code:

class Stored {
public:
    void Whatever();
private:
    void operator&();
};

int _tmain(int /*argc*/, _TCHAR* /*argv*/[])
{
    std::vector<Stored>(1).begin()->Whatever();
}

that fails to compile with this output:

vector(327): error C2248: 'Stored::operator &' : cannot access private member declared in class 'Stored'

vector(327) refers to this code:

pointer operator->() const
{    // return pointer to class object
return (&**this);
}

The code I showed is of course insane. Yet there're classes like _com_ptr_t and CComPtr that have operator&() overloaded - they can't be used in the scenario I show either. Same seems to apply to other STL containers.

"&" should be replaced with std::addressof() function here.
