int X, & Y = X ; Y = 5 ;

Hi Mike Cox,

comp.unix.programmer ?

Why seattle.general ?

After this C++ code:

int X, & Y = X ;  Y = 5 ;

X now has 5 in it...  Because Y was bound to X.

Y refers to X, and vice versa.

No, it's not "binding."

No, not vice versa.  Y refers to X, but X is just a stupid int.
