Returning structures from functions -- C++ Structs Tutorial #7

[@__hannibaal__]

This why love C/C++ ; you can return every thing by function. And get every thing.

I'm not sure whether it gets optimises away in your case, but
Circle p
p = getCircle()
results in one more construction of a circle than
Circle p = getCircle()
That is, the line
Circle p
causes a Circle to be constructed and assigned to p, then
p = getCircle()
causes another Circle to be constructed inside getCircle() and this is then assigned to p.

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

That makes sense since there is a local Circle variable created in getCircle. So, you should have two constructed, the Circle in getCircle and the Circle in main.

interestingly we can initialize like this too
struct Test {
int i;
float f;
char c;
};
Test initialize() {
return { 0,1.02,' ' };
}
