The syntax for pointers is similar to C, with the exception that operator `.` can also be used to dereference a member from a pointer. For example: ```csharp int test(MyType* pObj) { MyType* pNext = pObj + 1; MyType* pNext = &pNext[1]; - return pNext.a + (*pNext).a + pNext[0].a; + return pNext.a + pNext->a + (*pNext).a + pNext[0].a; } ``` Pointer types can also be specified using the generic syntax: `Ptr<MyType>` is equivalent to `MyType*`. +> #### Note +> Slang currently does not support pointers to immutable values, i.e. `const T*`. + ## `struct` inheritance (limited) Slang supports a limited form of inheritance. A derived `struct` type has all the members defined in the base type it is inherited from: |
