What operators cannot be virtual?

What operators cannot be virtual and why? I looked at FAQ and found
nothing.

I think there are operators that cannot be virtual, but I don't know
why?

What operators cannot be virtual and why?

Operators 'new' and 'delete' and 'new[]' and 'delete[]', because they
are essentially "static" (although not declared as such).

I looked at FAQ and found
nothing.

That's because it's not a Frequently Asked Question.

I believe you can think that because you suspect that you might not know
everything there is to know about C++. Quite understandable. I am the
same way, although not about overloaded operators.

FYI, the assignment operator can actually be declared virtual.
But this is unlikely to be useful since each class will have it's own
assignment operator with different type of parameter that has the same
type of the class itself.

I find that hard to believe. I don't think I've seen a question you can't
answer V.
