comment in question:
@IanJackson It works because (in our case) 1) doubly de-referencing a reference to a reference, and 2) de-referencing the value of a reference, in the end, will point to the same object. — CST-Link Jun 26 '14 at 15:01

According to the Help Center, the main opposition to this question would be "a practical, answerable problem that is unique to software development" and while it does hit the 2nd mark, it does not quite hit the first, hence "too broad" would be the most appropriate close reason. Nevertheless, this question could be good on Code Review, with some work. It would need to state in the non-code portion and the title what the code does, and not what kind of answer is desired. — Phrancis just now
