Yes, funny. :) But as some of the comments show, there are bad practices like not initializing the pointers. I wonder whether the person who wrote the accompanying code has experience with pointers. ;)
Also, the fact that the pointee is allocated with 'new' is adding confusion to the already confusing matter. Allocating by new is a lifetime issue and has nothing to do with being a pointee. It also makes one wonder whether the int should not be guarded by a smart pointer.
