Found in C++ code today: `List*& value`

?

<&[R]>
I feel like it's cursed
00:53
<@celticminstrel>
Why…?
00:53
<&[R]>
Why do I feel like it's cursed, or why does it exist?
00:54
<@celticminstrel>
The former.

<&[R]>
Mixing pointers and references is not a good idea, either do it all one way, or all the other, and don't have them both on the same variable

It's not obvious that the pointer gets changed when you pass it to the function
00:55
<&[R]>
But I guess that's the normal complaint with references
00:56
<@celticminstrel>
I mean, there are use-cases for it, that's why people do it…
00:56
<@celticminstrel>
It's pretty common in UE code in particular.

That being said, the shell I use now now longer exits when you assign a variable while eval_exitonfalse (IE: the -e option most shells have) is enabled. However `var = <={var2 = ...}` no longer works due to the hacky way I "fixed" it
