I think CORBA predates even original STL. In STL meaning of pointer and reference is... typedef foo & foo_reference; typedef foo * foo_pointer; *ptr <==> ref ptr->x() <==> ref.x() So you would not expect a pointer to have any members other than those for managing the pointer. Plus a reference should never be null. See my other post on how to make both pointers and references. -- Hamish Mackenzie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
