How are sf::Textures saved?

[Kaphonaits]

To elaborate/be more specific, are sf::Textures copied into the sf::Sprite or does the sf::Texture need to always be reference-able by the variable?

Explanations?

[Laurent]

void Sprite::setTexture(const Texture& texture, bool resetRect)
{
    ...

    m_texture = &texture;
}

When you set the texture of a sprite, all it does internally is to keep a pointer to the texture instance. Therefore, if the texture is destroyed or moves elsewhere in memory, the sprite ends up with an invalid texture pointer.

Does it answer your question?

Yes it does. Thanks!
