Based on what i know, C++ reference doesn't take a memory. Because it is just an alias of a variable that reference is pointing to.
But When I compile the simple code and see the assembly by using lldb, I saw the result like below.
int main()
{
int a = 10;
int &refToInt = a;
}
0x100003f90 <+0>: pushq %rbp
0x100003f91 <+1>: movq %rsp, %rbp
0x100003f94 <+4>: xorl %eax, %eax
0x100003f96 <+6>: movl $0xa, -0x4(%rbp)
0x100003f9d <+13>: leaq -0x4(%rbp), %rcx
0x100003fa1 <+17>: movq %rcx, -0x10(%rbp)
I think the reference is using memory -0x10 isn't it??
I want to know what is happening
Thank you
