#pragma warning (disable: 4355)
:)
I'm surprised that you don't get this warning regardless of static
compilation. It means that you are passing 'this' to a member during
construction. The problem is that 'this' has not been fully constructed, so
you could get explosions; e.g.
class Y;
class X {
public:
X(Y* y) {
y->die();
}
};
class Y {
public:
Y() : m_x(this), m_s("foobar") {}
void die() { std::cout << m_s; }
private:
X m_x;
const char *m_s;
};
here X attempts to use the unconstructed Y. This will cause undefined
behaviour.
It's not actually illegal to do this however, as if X just stores a pointer
to Y, and does not use it until after construction is complete, then it
works.
