object - Can I end up with a pointer to an unintended location by passing a pointer to a stack variable to a function in C++? -


i know compiler optimization can result in stack frames volatility. question if safe create stack pointer in c++ , pass function , expect point same object in callee. possible end pointing unintended location because of compiler optimization.

for example safe compiler?

int main(){    std::ofstream f("somefile");    foo(&f);    return 0; }

or should use heap consistent results. 

int main(){    std::ofstream *f=new std::ofstream("somefile");      foo(f);    close(*f);    delete f;    return 0; }

a dangling pointer created when pointer exists points object who's lifetime has ended:

std::string* s; {     std::string s1("hello");     s = &s1; } // 's' dangling pointer because 's1' has been destructed.

this situtation not exist in either of posted code snippets, both safe. (though first preferable avoid unnecessary dynamic memory allocation).

SPSS keyboard combination alters encoding -

my question not have programming practical issue on spss. accident keyword combination cannot remember because did not intend press changed encoding in spss , text in data in different language english shown small boxes. nevertheless, when kind of analysis performed different language text shown in output. does know reason? tried change encoding did not produce result. first, @ edit > options , see whether setting unicode or locale. might fix it. if have text in multiple languages, want unicode. otherwise, may have specific locale set wrong. can change set locale, need know locale want use.
