Shorter C code. Then, at some point, also smaller closures. > I think it leads to more problems than benefits in most cases, all you > really care about is clearing up references. It's usually fine for C types, though. Except for the very specific case of stack allocated C array literals, for which an explicitly allocated (invisible) local variable would have been a better idea, I think. > Do we ever have C++ stack-allocated object temporaries?
