Yes. new returns a pointer for structs and non-reference fundamental
types. For reference types like classes and arrays, it returns a
reference to the actual variable:
struct S
{}
class C
{}
void main()
{
/* Value types */
int * ip = new int;
double * dp = new double;
S * sp = new S;
/* Reference types */
C class_variable = new C;
int[] slice = new int[10];
}
