I agree with him. in many practical applications with well design class hierarchies it just really isn't much of an issue. Hasn't been for me either.

    ... and with proper use of Design Patterns!

    you can roll eyes at me all you want, but I've been programming in C++ for a long time. These memory access issues just don't seem to be a big problem for us in practice. That's because we wrap all raw memory manipulation in appropriate classes for our application, so it's just not an issue. I agree it could be an issue in theory.

    He rolls his eyes at "hierarchies". Libraries do make the difference. Somebody else interjected Design Patterns. You can define a design pattern as a weakness in your language's ability to express a library function to do the job.
