Hi all,
With the MS C++ compiler and our current warning settings, the following
code example produces the warning:
test.cxx(18) : warning C4355: 'this' : used in base member initializer list
class A
{
public:
A() {}
};
class B
{
A& _a;
public:
B( A& a ) : _a(a) {}
};
class C : public A
{
B _b;
public:
C() : _b( *(A*)this ) {}
};
int main()
{
C c;
}
Using 'this' in the ctor initializer list can be dangerous, if you don't
know what you do. The above example uses a safe way to provide this.
I think we have two possible ways to solve this problem.
- Turn of the warning for every occurrence in the code.
- Switch of C4355 for Windows globally.
I would propose to disable the warning C4355 for Windows, because we
have many places where we use 'this' in the initializer list (for
example, every dialog ctor).
