Re: [linux-india-programmers] C++ question

[Deepak Chandrashekar <deepakc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
  You are assigning ptr the address of the object c.(cast as an int)
Hence you are accessing the memory directly.This (kind of) violates
the OOPS philosophy.One of the reasons Java doesen't have pointers......

BTW, does any one have any documentation,references or resources on the
web (online papers, books etc.) regarding gcc internals and the data
structures used in gcc 2.95.2.(other than the original gcc manuals
"Using and porting GNU CC").

  Help would be most deeply appreciated

                           Regards,
