Showing advanced techniques like *a=\&func ...

I didn't show that "advanced technique" in either of my posts. You are the only one to use it in the entire thread!

... for a beginner.

No where did the OP identify himself as a beginner; nor did anything in his post lead me to believe he was.

Especially if he just wants to learn dereferencing of lexicals.

And there is the crux of your misreading. He specifically asked about "Dereferencing a reference to a typeglob?" It is, all said and done the title of this thread!

So, you misread his question; adjudged him to a beginner on no basis at all; and then condescendingly told him he was asking the wrong question.

If my answering the question he asked, and pointing out your error, makes me a "pope troll", then I'll leave it to others to arrive at their own conclusions about your invaluable contributions to this thread.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
