Object Pointers

In MQL5, there is a possibility to dynamically create objects of complex type. This is done by the new operator, which returns a descriptor of the created object. Descriptor is 8 bytes large. Syntactically, object descriptors in MQL5 are similar to pointers in C++.

Examples:

Again, unlike C++, the variable hobject from the example above is not a pointer to the memory, it is a descriptor of the object.
