Pass by reference is necessary for virtual dispatch sometimes. However, pass by value should be faster if the argument is an rvalue, the cost of passing is zero in that case. So for small objects where copying is reasonably fast pass by value is probably faster in general, even if the argument is an lvalue and has to be copied. _______________________________________________ Help-gplusplus mailing list Help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
