c++ 引用和指针的区别

1引用教程原文

While both references and pointers are used to indirectly access another value, there are two important differences between references and pointers. The first is that a reference always refers to an object: It is an error to define a reference without initializing it. The behavior of assignment is the second important difference: Assigning to a reference changes the object to which the reference is bound; it does not rebind the reference to another object. Once initialized, a reference always refers to the same underlying object.

2 大致意思：虽然【引用】和【指针】都是用于间接访问其它的值，但是有两点区别：

(1)【引用】总是指向对象，定义一个【引用】而不初始化它的值是错误的。

(2 )赋值行为的不同。对一个【引用】赋值，改变的是它所指向的对象的值，而它并没有因此指向另一个对象。一旦对【引用】初始化之后，它总是固定的指向那个变量。
