From article <1653@seti.inria.fr>, by jml@bdblues.altair.fr (Jean Marie Larcheveque): ) To my knowledge, there is no language which allows you to ) bind a symbol to an object created dynamically. ) This would happen for example if C++ had a primitive alloc ) with interface Type& alloc(Type). In C++, you say, int& x = *new(int); /* Symbol "x" is bound to new int-object. */ new() is the "primitive alloc" that you desire. It returns a pointer to a new object. The above statement makes "x" a name for the object pointed to.
