The argument I have always heard, Gecko-wise and elsewhere [1], is to prefer pointers for modification, because it's clearly signaled at the callsite that something might be happening to the value. That would rule out `T&`, but permit `const T&`. -Nathan [1] https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Reference_Arguments _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
