I need to do this for structs and basic types. What's the
standard way to do this?
Do you need to use new? i.e. do you need the variable to be
allocated on the heap?
Also, as you've written it, px is not a pointer to x which is a
bit misleading. What is the result you actually want?
I need a fresh T (let's call it t) allocated on the heap and a
pointer (pt) to it and the value of t should be the value of x.

T x;
int* pt = new T;
*pt = x;

Maybe I'll just do this.
