hello Nat,
Thanks you very much for your explanation!
for 1), I never heard of that idiom. In fact, after playing with C++ for more thant 10 years, I am still keeping finding interesting corners of the language. :)
What I get from your information is that, the do/while clause is a MUST-HAVE and is obviously intentional.
Absolutely.
for 2), it seems that 'this->' is a question of coding style and generally we could omit it.
Generally, but not always. If you want to call a member function (_especially_ in templated/library code), then you should qualify it with "this->", because you don't know if there will be a function named "func1" available when the code is compiled. -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software mailto:marshall@idio.com It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
