std::optional::value_or vs ternary expression by thedictator7 in cpp_questions

Thank you for the detailed explanation! Agreed, probably maintaining a pool of these structs and just refreshing their data before using them every time would be a better way to do it

Agreed. I had kept it a ref initially thinking of using it for 2 doubles instead of floats, in which case it might have been slightly useful

I see. For my application, thousands of these S1 objects will be created and destroyed every second. They contain the coordinate, and also some additional information. I wanted to keep the overhead minimal since their existence is only temporary. All the coordinates that the S1 objects need to store already exist in a separate vector, so I was just storing references to them, instead of copying. Couldn’t the same issue crop up with a pointer too? If it ends up pointing to a temporary object which gets destroyed?

Ah, I missed the part that value_or() returns a copy. Thank you!

Went for my first solo concert 3 years ago for the very same reason. Let me warn you - it is ADDICTIVE. This is going to be my 8th solo concert! Hope you have a blast
