uintptr_t is an unsigned integer type that is capable of storing a data pointer. Which typically means that it’s the same size as a pointer. It is optionally defined in C++11 and later standards. A common reason to want an integer type that can hold an architecture’s pointer type is to perform integer-specific operations on a … Read more
you should read about difference between pointers and reference that might help you understand your problem. In short, the difference is:when you declare myclass *p it’s a pointer and you can access it’s members with ->, because p points to memory location. But as soon as you call p=new myclass[10]; p starts to point to array and when you call p[n] you get a reference, which members … Read more
The & symbol in a C++ variable declaration means it’s a reference. It happens to be a reference to a pointer, which explains the semantics you’re seeing; the called function can change the pointer in the calling context, since it has a reference to it. So, to reiterate, the “operative symbol” here is not *&, that combination … Read more
A dangling pointer is a pointer that points to invalid data or to data which is not valid anymore, for example: This can occur even in stack allocated objects: The pointer returned by c_str may become invalid if the string is modified afterwards or destroyed. In your example you don’t seem to modify it, but since it’s … Read more
In this case a[4] is the 5th integer in the array a, ap is a pointer to integer, so you are assigning an integer to a pointer and that’s the warning.So ap now holds 45 and when you try to de-reference it (by doing *ap) you are trying to access a memory at address 45, which is an invalid address, so your program crashes. You should do ap … Read more
I know Java doesn’t have pointers, but I heard that Java programs can be created with pointers and that this can be done by the few who are experts in java. Is it true?

Alternatively you can add the operator overload as non-member: Online Demo Member vs nonmember operator overloading
and Are just the same thing. so does: And once you declared the reference, you can think of it just like the actual variable itself. so you don’t need particular operator to dereference it. when passing variables through function arguments, the raw object is always shallow copied in memory to the new variable in the … Read more
How is it a keyword and an instance of a type? This isn’t surprising. Both true and false are keywords and as literals they have a type ( bool ). nullptr is a pointer literal of type std::nullptr_t, and it’s a prvalue (you cannot take the address of it using &). 4.10 about pointer conversion says that a prvalue of type std::nullptr_t is a null pointer constant, and that an … Read more
