Hello...
I have an object which has a nested object which need to look at the
parent to return a value
about it. Basically as below but when I put the ref method parameter
to construct the nested class, I get the error message about "this"
(the parent being readonly).
When I leave out the ref keyword things compile, but I want to make
sure I pass by reference so I can save memory. As you can see the
parent is passed but not modified by the nest class. Any ideas?
namespace test
{
public class User
{
private Status _Status;
private string _Level
public User()
{
this._Status = new Status(ref this);
}
public string Level
{
get { return _Level;}
set {_Level = value;}
}
public class Status
{
private User _User;
public Status(ref User usr)
{
_User = usr;
}
public string UserCurrentLeve l
{
get { return _User.Level;}
}
}
}
} 3 2691

Yes - I don't think you understand what "pass by reference" really
means. There's no need to pass anything by reference here; instead, you
want to pass the reference by value, which is the default behaviour.
See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/parameters.html for more
information.

OK so because a class is being passed into the constructor, it defaults
to value....
What I am trying to find-out here is that if it is passed by value,
then a new copy of the object
is created, this would not be ideal, as my User object, although not
shown in the code snippet,
is actually very large, holding multiple collection classes.
What is best for conserving memory?
Thanks,

No - it's got nothing to do with the fact that it's being passed into a
constructor.

No, you don't understand. A new copy of the object is *not* created
(unless the User object is a value type, which I hope it's not).
Did you read the link I posted? It explains all this in a fair amount
of detail. If that hasn't helped you to understand that a new copy of
the object isn't created, it sounds like it needs more work. You'll
need to read it thoroughly rather than just skimming it though.

Hi,
How do you make use of nested functions in C++? I realize in C++ that
everything must be declared first in a header file before implementation in
a .cpp file. I tried to nest a method prototype in another prototype but
seems pointless. Can someone please write a short, simple, and concise
skeleton code of how to use nested functions?

in a python nested class is it possible to change the value of the
parent class's variable without actually creating an instance of the
parent class, consider this code:

I have a homework assignment that I'm so confused and really need help

Assume we have a statically-scoped language with nested procedures.
That is, a procedure
(or function) can contain local procedures (and functions). Procedures
can be nested arbitrarily
deep. The scoping rules for procedure names (i.e., the ability to call

I've almost completed building a Model-View-Controller but have run into a
snag. When an event is fired on a form control I want to automatically
updated the "connnected" property in the Model. This works fine if all of
the properties are at the top (root level) of the model but I'd like to keep
them in nested classes to organize them better.
So, for example, part of my data model looks like this (simplified) :

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
