On the contrary, p1->x makes it easy to see p1 was allocated on the heap and needs to be deleted or otherwise memory managed. p1.x does not.

I don't understand. Given a pointer, there's no telling whether the object pointed to resides on the heap or on the stack.

struct S { int x; int y; };

S s;
S* p1 = &s;
int n = p1->x;
delete p1; // of course NOT
.
