Newbie question, possibly just confused. Thanks in advance:
Suppose I have an instance of an object (or perhaps a struct), obj1, of class class1. The following is standard pointer assignment:
class1 *p1 = &obj1;
And from now on, I can access the object's members by p1->member.
Question: How do I "go back", i.e., if I write:
class1 obj2 = *p_var;
one could think obj1 and obj2 were the same; but in reality, this last call just create a new object and called the copy constructor (I think).
Is there a way to make obj2 refer to the same instance as obj1, or this goes against the whole concept of "object"? Any references on this would also be useful.
Thank you!!
