Are raw C++ pointers first class objects?

Question

According to Wikipedia:

An object is first-class when it:

• can be stored in variables and data structures
• can be passed as a parameter to a sub

Answer 1

From wiki:

In computing, a first-class object (also value, entity, and citizen), in the context of a particular programming language, is an entity which can be passed as a parameter, returned from a subroutine, or assigned into a variable.1 In computer science the term reification is used when referring to the process (technique, mechanism) of making something a first-class object.[citation needed]

I included the entire entry in wiki-pedia for context. According to this definition - an entity which can be passed as a parameter - the C++ pointer would be a first class object.
