Thanks Roger,
I like your advice -- "I suggest you use a reference counting smart pointer instead.". Currently, I have another idea to fix the issue, which is do an instance copy when constructing the data member, not using a reference. Do you think it is a good idea?
regards,
George

Well, it depends.
Consider what happens if the original value is updated....the copy will become obsolete.
A common problem is to have two instances of the same data; if they get out of sync you don't know which is the correct one. But this may not be a concern, it depends on what you're trying to do.
I would stick to the smart pointer solution.
That way I don't have to worry about the object being destroyed in the background and is safe to use until every object has released their references to it. Sometimes it's hard to know which object is the last to be destroyed and then clean up the memory, but by using a reference counting smart pointer the problem will be solved automagically.
With a smart pointer I would also have the data in one place and in case the data is updated, every "user" of it can read the new value from the same place.

2. if the _buf is binded to a heap variable, and it is released some time but Foo does not the release operation, then using _buf is not safe?
I don't see your concerns are related to reference in anyways.
Both can cause problem even if you do not use reference.

How about making a local copy of the original object? 
The concerns are related to accessing the same instance using the address of the instance whereas the use of pointers is one way and references is another.

Thanks Roger,
So, you agree with the two issues I pointed out?

No i mean is it is not a issue of a reference variable.
Consider instead of reference you have a pointer.
It will still be a dangling pointer right??
What i want to say is its a common problem. It does not arise because you use reference variable.
Don't you agree??
Yes with reference you feel it is issue because you cant reinitialize the reference.
And if if the object is going to be deleted in between then there is no use of using it as a reference. instead you can use pointer so you can reinitialize to NULL or some other valid object.

Sandip.

how to display text to edit boxes like printf in c while the program is running.
if i have some code in c like
{
printf("hello");
//do some computations for some time and then
printf("%d",result);
}
thanks & regards

you have to call SetWindowText() on your edit box instance.
but maybe you should start learning MFC/Win32 because that's a really very simple task.
|
|
|
|
|
you can use SetWindowText to set the text in the edit box. if you want all of the text to appear, as it does in the console window you can set the multiline property and the want return property to true.
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Use sprintf() (documentation here) to copy the formatted data into a string then use SetWindowText() (documentation here) to put this text into the edit control.

And what is your problem about?
You may (Win32):
(1) format a string using sprintf
(2) send the string to the edit box using SetWindowText.
On the other hand, using MFC you may:
(1) map a CString variable to the CEdit control.
(2) use the CString::Format method to properly format such variable.
(3) call CDialog::UpdateData(FALSE) of your dialog.
