how des "GetSize().foo = NULL" work

[dcudev lcr]

Can somebody explain the following construct and when would you use it? GetSize().foo = NULL; thanks... Happy New Year... sun.lcr

When GetSize() returns a reference to an object, and .foo is a pointer? -- Weiter, weiter, ins verderben. Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben. I blog too now[^]

struct Y {
void* foo;
};

class X {
Y obj;

public:
Y& GetX();
};

X x;
x.GetX().foo = NULL;
