Hi,
I have a class with a reference to the parent object and a
constructor that has the parent as parameter
class foo {
this ( foo p /* , other params */ ) {
parent = p;
}
foo parent;
}
Of cause, the parent is almost always the object that creates
the new intance. So
auto f = new foo(this);
I'd like to set "this" ( the creator ) as default argument if
the constructor :
this ( foo p = this ) {...}
I can't. But however, the function, the argument and the
current object in body of the constructor are 3 different
things and the compiler can distinguish each one.
Is there a way to pass the reference of the caller to the
creator as default argument ?
it isn't supported as far i know so use a default construtor like
@Kagamin has show
