- Reference is to alias the variable, syntax:
数据类型 &别名 = 原名
Note 1:
- reference must be initialized
- Cannot be changed after reference initialization
int a = 10;
int &b = a; // b和a指向同一块内存
int &b; // 错误:没有初始化
int c = 20;
b = c; // 错误:这个写法不是更改引用b,而是把c的值 赋给 b指向的内存,这时候 a和b指向的值都改了
Note 2:
- Passing by value will open up a new memory space (copy a copy of data). Formal parameter changes do not affect actual parameters
void swap(a,b) {
int temp = a; // 函数运行的时候,会单独再开辟新的 a b temp 内存空间
a = b;
b = temp;
return;
}
void main() {
int a = 10;
int b = 20;
swap(a,b);
cout << a << b << endl; // 此时a,b的值并没有发生变化,因为是值传递,形参改变不影响实参
}
- If the address is passed, the formal parameter can modify the actual parameter
void swap(int* p1, int* p2) {
int temp = *p1;
*p1 = *p2;
*p2 = temp;
}
void main() {
int a = 10;
int b = 20;
swap(&a, &b); // 此时a,b的值已经被交换了。地址传递可以改变实参的值
}
The essence of a reference is a pointer constant
The pointing of the pointer cannot be changed, but the value pointed to by the pointer can be changed
int a = 10;
int &b = a; // 等价于: int * const b = &a
b = 20; // 等价于: *b = 20 编译器优化
Application: Modification of formal parameters to prevent misuse
void func(const int& a) {
a = 100; // 错误:形参加了const之后,函数内部不可以再修改该参数的值
cout << v << endl;
}
int main() {
int a = 10;
func(a);
}
Incorrect usage:
int &b = 10; // 错误:不能编译。引用必须是合法内存空间
Correct (compilation passes) usage:
const int &b = 10; // 可以编译。等价于:int tmep = 10; const int &b = temp;编译器优化
b = 1000; // 错误:加了const后不可以修改变量
Return value by reference
