just a thought about "doing the compilers job"

[.rhavin grobert]

guess you have the following:

class X {
int fn1(); // -\ lets assume those fn's
int fn2(); // >- do something independent
int fn3(); // -/ from each other
}

class Y {
public:
X& X() {return m_x;};
private:
X m_x;
};

class Z {
public:
Y& Y() {return m_y;};
private:
Y m_y;
};

now when i do something like this:

Z z;
CallWhateverFunctionTakingThreeInts(z.y().x().fn1,z.y().x().fn2,z.y().x().fn3);

is it as effective as writing ...

Z z;
X& x = z.y().x();
CallWhateverFunctionTakingThreeInts(x.fn1,x.fn2,x.fn3);
