consider the following classes:
class bar;
class foo
{
public:
foo(bar* b) : m_b(b) {}
private:
bar* m_b;
};
class bar
{
public:
bar() : m_f(this) {}
// ^^^ is this legal
private:
const foo m_f;
};
Is the use of 'this' legal to initialize the constant foo member. If
not, how does one get a pointer to object being constructed within
the constructor initializer?
