New issue 879 by [email protected]: Why does Handle<T>::operator*()
return T* instead of T& ?
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=879
On classes aiming to act like pointers, such as v8::Handle, operator->()
usually returns T*, but doesn't operator*() usually return T&?
By returning T*, you have to do a double-dereference to get a reference to
the actual type:
void foo(const String &arg) {}
//...
Handle<String> x = someFunction();
foo(**x); // unfortunate
Am I missing something obvious? :)
Of course, changing this probably breaks a bunch of code :(
Thanks.
