Your example is a good case for a pointer. Was there a reason why a
reference should be used?
Having said that, you can even drop the pointer and use a DataSource as-is:
struct Engine
{
DataSource dataSource;
// ...
}
However, that would be preferable only if DataSource did not have a
static array but I assume you wrote int[3] just as an example. Otherwise:
struct DataSource
{
int[] data; // <-- Now a slice
}
That works because DataSource.data is a *reference* to your external data.
