I like C++ and follow its development.
While browsing I came across this link:
http://www.cplusplus-soup.com/2012/01/rich-pointers-frequently-asked.html
Can someone explain the concept of rich pointers in simple terms ?
At least as I read it, they’re “tagged pointers”. In other words, the pointer doesn’t just carry the address of the item it points at, but has some associated metadata to tell what sort of thing the pointer is intended to point at.
