    Hi!

    If i have a function like Qpoint foo()
    then I write: Qpoint g=foo()

    after executing the second line I want to know if the qpoint returned in the function will exist in memory like a pointer (until program is closed or a delete statement) or its deleted like a native data type.

    Thank you very much!

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      g will live as long as the function containing it and long if it's a class member.

        Thank you very much!. So, the object returned in the function (not g) will die too. Isnt it?

          Yes, if g wasn't there to get the copy it would already have been destroyed.

          Are you studying stack vs heap memory ?
