Hello
In many OOP languages "this"(or something similar) is used to point to current object. But i think its an object by itself. Here is what i found" polymorphic object which can point in different times to different object`s types"
I like to get some more information about this maybe some science article.
Thank you in advance.
class A
{
public:
A()
{
x = 0;
cout << "A: this = " << hex << (unsigned int)this << "\n";
}
private:
int x;
};
class B : public A
{
public:
B()
{
y = 0;
cout << "B: this = " << hex << (unsigned int)this << "\n";
}
private:
int y;
};
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
B b;
}
Its just a Compilers way of saying "The main object under my concern right now is this" ,as AncientDragon has stated its just a pointer which is maintained completely by compiler which the user cannot modify,but can make use of it foir referencing the current object.For more info try these 12.
