Reference and Bound Object

I read in Lippman et al that there is no way to rebind a reference to a different object (p59)

It sees to me that the code below does just that and doesnt produce any error in VC Express 2010

Can someone pls explain to me what's happening.

Many Thanks,

Paolo

void demo()
{

int i = 5;
int k = 5;
int& ir1 = i;
int& ir2 = k;
ir2 = i;
}


void main()  {
  demo();

}

Your code isn't rebinding anything. It's just assigning a new value to what the ir2 reference is bound to.
