Are references stored on the heap or stack?
c++, memory-management, reference
Solution
A reference is just an alias, and it is unspecified by the C++11 Standard whether it requires actual storage or not.
Per Paragraph 8.3.2/4 of the C++11 Standard:
It is unspecified whether or not a reference requires storage (3.7).
Problem
I wonder whether the reference variables such as `c` in this code: ``` int a = 5; int & c = a; ``` are allocated from heap or stack. Can anyone help? Thanks
