@vaporeon_ did you see my blog post about rvalues

@wallhackio I did! (Did I forget to favourite it?)

If function names are lvalues, can I assign a function to a different function? Can I say foo = bar; (where foo and bar are functions of the same type) and calling foo() will actually call bar()?

@wallhackio Vaporeon's intuition of lvalues and rvalues is that lvalues can be on the left side on an assignment and rvalues on the right side, but I assume that that doesn't hold up in C++? Does it even hold up in C in all the edge cases?

@vaporeon_ because of const in C++ there are plenty of lvalues which cannot be left of an =

In regards to C, I have no idea, I am not very knowledgeable about C ​​

@wallhackio Yeah, right, if I say const x = 5;, then later x = 6 wouldn't be allowed even if x is a perfectly fine lvalue...

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ my intuition is that an lvalue is something that's at least a coherent idea if you try to put it on the left of an assignment. like it doesn't work but there is a well-defined thing that you're trying to do that doesn't work

@monorail @vaporeon_ read my blog

@vaporeon_ I... Don't know. Lemme check ​​

@vaporeon_ you can't ​​

@wallhackio That's unfortunate, it would've been funny if it was possible

(I know that it is possible if you use function pointers instead of functions themselves, and I have done that a few times, but imagine if you could just say foo = bar for two functions instead...)
