Lately there has been a small debate around the interpretation of the following phrase, ostensibly taken from the DWP: A reference shall be initialized to refer to a valid object or function. One party claims that valid object means initialized object while another claims that all is required is that the object have a valid address. Does the DWP make it clear which interpretation should be used? -- John Hickin Nortel Technology, Montreal, Quebec (514) 765-7924 hickin@nortel.ca --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
