operator = should not be void functions. (The law of the least astonishment). The standard libraries should use return values on operators and assignment operators should normally have the behavior described in Kernigan & Ritchie: The C Programming Language ( second edition ) Chap. 2.10 VHMap uses a assignment in a return statement, and fails to compile when used on strings.
