c++ - Is the address of a reference to a dereferenced pointer the same as the address of the pointer?

Question

In C++, is the address of a reference to a dereferenced pointer guaranteed to be the same as the address of the pointer?

Or, written in code, is the following assertion guaranteed to always hold true?

SomeType *ptr = someAddress;
SomeType &ref = *ptr;
assert(&ref == ptr);

Answer 1

Yes, that is correct and will always be true.

Reference is nothing but an Alias of the type which it is referring to. It does not have a separate existence, it is always tied up to the one it is referring.
