C++ question

[puffpio]

I came apon some code that looks like this:

class MyClass {
....
};


void myFunc(const class MyClass & inVar) {
...
}


my question is...what is the significance of have the class keyword in the function declaration like that?

It demonstrates that you are passing in a class object

It's superfluous. void myFunc(const MyClass & inVar) should work just as well.

Perhaps the construct is a relic from C structs. Perhaps the coder thinks it's clearer somehow.
