>unnecessary
I mean, 90% of the int type is unnecessary. Rarely do any of the numbers you declare as int go anywhere near the two billion something limit.

90% of nearly fucking everything you do is unnecessary. You cannot convince me that you write 100% optimized code 100% of the time across all of your projects in multiple languages.

Pointers are cool, and easy to visualize / think about. Go cry somewhere else.

Awesome

You guys do realize that you are both furry and faggots right?
Are you too bored with normal girls?

Give an example of common pointer usage that you see as unnecessary.

I'm guessing op means using pointers to do things other than pass arguments by reference.

Pointers are pretty necessary to a lot of data structures as well.

>>58221696

Generally that's behavior that you want unless you have a specific reason to want to copy something.

>a lot of data structures
You mean all of them?

Arrays and some heaps don't.

Dumb weeb.

Daily reminder that you can access arrays like pointers

It's obvious.

>>58222555

Rust is filled with pointers. They just behave under slightly different semantics (references, boxes)

Its actually fine if you mix it with ice cream and good chocolate. Those are good stuff for wanting a trap body too.

Pointers > references

>>58225545

References are just pointers with a restricted set of operations.

arrays are passed around like pointers.

arr[5] is syntactic sugar for *(arr+5)

So what? That's like using double when it would suffice to use a float. Pointers usage shouldn't be more difficult for you than this.

Nice trips but java needs to be eradicated, no way to really work with it without pointers.

>>58227518

Are they the genuine article? With so many trannies out there I just don't know anymore.

>>58226092
>arrays are passed around like pointers
They actually "decay" to pointers.

void foo(int bar[3]);

is syntactic sugar for

void foo(int * bar);

Where arrays are autocast to pointers.

you have no idea how hard it is to explain this to people. I swear if people would properly understand this they wouldnt suck so much when it comes to recursion
