Need help with overloading <<, >> operators for pointers C++

Question

I get segmentation fault when my program runs into this section of my program:

ostream& operator<<(ostream& output, TrashCan*& p) {

output << "Size = " << p->my_Size << " Contents = " << p->my_Contents << endl;

return output;
}

it runs fine with the regular << >> overload without pointers though

Answer 1

Are you sure that you can use refference and derefference operator at the same time. Try just with &p
