Referencing the calling object?

[gameman15]

I would just like to know if it's possible to reference the calling object in a member function as an object and not just by it's member data.

For this you got the "this" pointer. this will be available in all non-static methods.

void MyClass::doSomething()
{
    std::cout << "Address to the calling object: " << this << std::endl;
    this->anotherFunction();
    (*this).anotherFunction();
}

Man, I already tried that and the compiler complained about it. But, yeah, it works now, thank you.
