If I had a penny for every pixel … I’d have around $1088. Which I would take, but really it’s not enough.

I don’t think I’ve ever explicitly gone four deep. Two is common enough, and three happens on some rare occasions, but four seems like sheer madness.

Ephera ,

Dumb question, but when would you need two deep? Is it when you store a pointer as a field in a struct?

If so, isn’t that a massive footgun, because the pointer might go invalid at any point? 🫠

SpaceNoodle ,

Pointers to arrays or arrays of pointers are common examples.

Your pointers won’t just magically become invalid. You gotta fuck 'em up first.

Once your pointer definition looks like a censored swear word you’re doing something awful.

In my entire programming career I’ve used int ** less than a handful of times and I’ve always been borderline about refactoring when I need it.

Okay, but what if you’re dealing with a rather high-dimensional tensor? In some kinds of coding it can happen, and you usually don’t want to sacrifice performance when it does.

You can also do increasingly elaborate pointer arithmetic, but that seems worse, not better to me.

I know a friend who can point you to a region in memory where you can insert your exploit. You’re welcome.

Me: building a fluent interface framework…
I already support a WrapperOf<T, T, T, T>
User: Can I have a WrapperOf<T, T, T, T, T> because I’m doing something weird?
Me: sigh god-damnit. You’re right but I still hate it.
