Are there any problems with this code

Sorry about asking but I want to be sure this is a legitimate way to pass variables. (I'm passing a reference of a to b) I don't think I have to deallocate anything or anything like that but I'm just wondering. Thanks!

VectorMath.hpp - Don't have it. (Changed it to <cstdio> and worked fine.)

a ceases to exist when foo returns, so dereferencing b in main is undefined behavior.
