Question

I asked a similar question before, but I only realized now that the answer I received isn’t totally what I wanted.

If I simply have a pointer of some structure type, how can I either move to, or create an instance of the same structure type starting at an address specified by the struct pointer (which I have assigned an address to) without using “new”.

Answer 1

That’s what placement new is for:

foo* p = new(0x9000) foo(bar);
