PovRay Source Code...

"Chris M. Thomasson" <chris.m.thomasson.1@gmail.com>: Nov 20 10:55PM -0800 Iirc, somebody who posts "here" (comp.lang.c and/or comp.lang.c++) worked on the PovRay source code base... I am interested in conversing about it because I want to see if we can possibly integrate one of my special low-level mutations into its ray marcher/caster on a fairly low level. Low level in the sense that the mutations are performed _before_ any points and normals are fed into the marcher/caster logic...

What a reference actually is

(Happily you use "object" in the rest of the text.)   I was thinking of it more like "the name of the object is 'foo', and a reference 'bar' would be an alias for that 'foo' object".   (But yes, references can also refer to unnamed temporary objects...)
