minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·7 days agoYeah… But it’s usually a good practice to put a struct somewhere between your 30 levels of ownership. Exceptions exist, but they are not very common. Also, in C++, operators overloading may help you if you keep needing to write code like this.
minus-squareGladaed@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 days agoIn C++ you should never have owning raw pointers. Unless you have a good reason™. Raw pointers are great, but not for ownership.
