A [*class member access operator function*](#def:operator_function,class_member_access "12.4.6 Class member access [over.ref]") is a function named operator-> that is a non-static member function taking no non-object parameters[.](#1.sentence-1)

For an expression of the form

[*postfix-expression*](expr.post.general#nt:postfix-expression "7.6.1.1 General [expr.post.general]") -> templateopt [*id-expression*](expr.prim.id.general#nt:id-expression "7.5.5.1 General [expr.prim.id.general]")

the operator function
is selected by overload resolution ([[over.match.oper]](over.match.oper "12.2.2.3 Operators in expressions")),
and the expression is interpreted as

( [*postfix-expression*](expr.post.general#nt:postfix-expression "7.6.1.1 General [expr.post.general]") . operator -> () ) -> templateopt [*id-expression*](expr.prim.id.general#nt:id-expression "7.5.5.1 General [expr.prim.id.general]")
