Edit Question
Title
Body
This is a two part question. Is it ok to assign the return value of a function to a reference? Such as Foo FuncBar() { return Foo(); } // some where else Foo &myFoo = FuncBar(); Is this ok? Its my understanding that FuncBar() returns a Foo object and now myFoo is a reference to it. Second part of the question. Is this an optimization? So if your doing it in a loop a lot of the time is it better to do Foo &myFoo = FuncBar(); or Foo myFoo = FuncBar(); And take into account the variables use, won't using the ref require slower dereferences?
