java "this" in c++

I'm in a function in java and I create a new Object passing "this" as parameter:

class AClass { 
    AClass(TestClass t开发者_运维知识库estClass) { }
}

class TestClass {
    AClass doSomething()
    {
        return new AClass(this);
    }
}

How to do That in C++?

Should be:

class AClass {
    AClass(TestClass* testClass) { }
};

class TestClass {
    AClass* doSomething()
    {
        return new AClass(*this);
    }
};

Should I pass *this, or &this?


It depends. You're probably looking for this:

class AClass { 
    AClass(TestClass& testClass) { } 
}; 

class TestClass { 
    AClass doSomething() 
    { 
        return AClass(*this); 
    } 
}; 

To use it in C++:

TestClass testClass;
AClass aClass = testClass.doSomething();

But what are you really trying to do? Unlike Java, C++ makes the distinction between values and references explicit. You should really read a good beginner's C++ book, as James McNellis has suggested.

The distinction between values/references/pointers that C++ makes is fundamental to the language and failing to respect that will lead to disaster. Again, please pick up a C++ book.


Given the declaration you wrote

class AClass {
    AClass(TestClass* testClass) { }
};

You need to pass a pointer, so you'd use this. However, it's generally preferred in C++ to use references (especially const references) instead of pointers, so you'd declare AClass as:

class AClass {
    AClass(const TestClass& testClass) { }
};

To which you would pass *this.

Now, there are situations in which the pointer version is preferred. For example, if testClass were allowed to be NULL (you can't have null references). Or if testClass were stored in a std::vector or similar data structure. (You can't have arrays of references.)
