Problem with pointers

[fabiux]

Hello everybody, sorry for my bad english.

This is the problem I have. I have an class hierarchy like java's with an object base class named Object.
There is also a class named Reference that contains a pointer to a Object. It is like

class Reference{
public:
Object *value;
....
};

Two or more references can point to the same object but how can I make that when a Reference that shares
the object wiht some other reference changes the value of the object, it can be viewed by all the other
references?
I've tried somethig like:

Reference *a = new reference();
Reference *b = new reference();
a->value = some object
b->value = a->value; // a and b point to the same object, the have the same address
// some change to a's value
object *o = some object
*(a->value) = *o; // both a and b values remains unchanged

What I want to do is some kind of aliasing simulation, but without using the one provided by C++.

That works. When the value of the object changes, both reference objects (a and b) see the changed object. You've presented a working solution to your own question.

¿Why would change? You are assing it to itself.
By the way, unlike java, c++ has objects. Reference a;

This is not exactly correct... add [code] tag to your post ... so that I can follow it easier >.>
