What error are you getting? "this" is /not/ null inside constructors...
That would
be weird :)
As is, this code does not compile because there's no "static main method"
(which is OK).
If I add a trivial main function (outsize the class) in which I instantiate
Foo,
I get that the constructor is not public; so access is restricted (which is
also OK).
None of this errors is saying that "this" is null. For example, this works:
public class Foo
{
Foo()
{
assert(this != null);
}
* static int main() { var f = new Foo(); return 0; }*
}
(Also a version with the main method outside the class but the constructor
made public should work).
