But there are no temporaries here. You seem to mix concepts of
"temporary" and "stack variable with deterministic lifetime".
Taking address of a temporary is something like this:
int foo() { return 42; }
...
int* ptr = &(foo());
nope, I get that. I was just confusing the basics of how pointers
work *facepalm*
