Operator overload between pointers

Question

How can I overload operator + between two pointers pointing to a new class object ? e.g

class A{

}

A* operator+(A* p1,A*p2){
   return A;
}

I'm using objects only with pointers so I need to use pointers.

@Carcigenicate: You can add a pointer and a number, or subtract two pointers. — MSalters, Jan 16 '17 at 00:37

How can i overload operator + between two pointers?

The standard doesn't allow for both parameters to the operator+ to be pointers:

§[expr.add]/1 For addition, either both operands shall have arithmetic or unscoped enumeration type, or one operand shall be a pointer to a completely-defined object type and the other shall have integral or unscoped enumeration type.
