Hi,
Is there a method to access this reference of the container class
from an inner class. i.e.
class A {
class B {
methodM() {
callAnotherM(A::this or A.this);
}
}
}
The outer class is referenced via the property outer. However, if the inner
class is static, then it has no such property and is not tied to a specific
instance of the outer class. In such a case, it can access the private members
of an instance of the outer class, but it's not tied to an particular instance.
Non-static inner classes (like yours above), however, _are_ tied to a particular
instance of the outer class, and they have the outer property which is the this
of the outer class.

Just to add a note, you have to access the property via "this":
this.outer
