for something like that

class foo
{
    foo& operator<<(const BYTE*){ ...; return *this; };
}

foo f;
f << {0x00, 0x00, 0x00} << {0x00, 0x00, 0x00};

{0x00, 0x00, 0x00} is not allowed by compiler in such expressions.

Arrays are not pointers and pointers are not arrays. – molbdnilo Oct 19 '15 at 11:34
Are you trying to pass a pointer to a temporary? That's bound to result in fun. – underscore_d Oct 19 '15 at 11:36

looks like this is not supported in C++: [Initializer lists and RHS of operators](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11420448/initializer-lists-and-rhs-of-operators) – m.s. Oct 19 '15 at 11:40
