Silly question maybe...
I pass a refrence to an object to a method...
The method adds the object to a (stl) list of these objects...
However if a refrence to the object is passed and then added list...
if the original object is destroyed.. is the object in the list invalid
or is a copy of the object
made by the stl list for insertion purposes

The list contains a copy of the object, so destroying the original won't
affect the list.

In the container classes of the standard library copies of the passed
objects are inserted. But you can easily try & check this yourself.

You cannot create containers of references, only of objects or
pointers.
If you allocate memory for an object with "new" and store a pointer to
that object in an STL container, you need to ensure that you call
"delete" on every pointer before the container is cleared.

This is not necessarily true. The standard library containers also create
copies of pointers and it depends very much what you want to achieve whether
a delete statement should/must be issued before the container is cleared.
Imagine for example a container of pointers to geometric primitives and
another container where you store the pointers to the subset of the
primitives that have been selected. If you called a delete statement on the
pointers in the selection container then you´d send all those primitives
into nirvana which is certainly not what you normally would want.

You are quite correct ... of course, it is a question of who "owns"
the memory allocated for the pointers. In most cases I have seen, it
will be whatever is controlling the container, though (or perhaps some
other container higher up in a certain application-defined hierarchy,
as you suggest). The OP's question seemed to indicate that it was an
issue to be pointed out.

Hi,
In the attached example, I do understand that the references are not changed
if an array is passed by Val. What I do not understand is the result of line
99 (If one can find this by line number) which is the last line of the
following sub routine:
' procedure modifies elements of array and assigns
' new reference (note ByVal)
Sub FirstDouble(ByVal array As Integer())
Dim i As Integer

Hi,
I am writing a single .cs in IDE that uses some refrences that I have
created previously as dll. I compile this refrences with /r switch in
csc.exe with no problem.
IntelliSense works with cs commands and syntaxes. But the problem is It
doesn't know my own refrences and so doesn't show my class members.
What can I do with with these? Please Help!

Hello fellow C# programmers,
This question is more about general practice and convention so here
goes:
I got into a discussion with a co-worker who insisted that as a general
practice all objects should be passed by reference using the ref
keyword generally speaking because as the writer of code you are
conveying your intentions that an Object should/can be modified by your
function.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
