Setters with and without this pointer.

Exotic_Devel

When QtCreator creates setters for class properties, it uses the attribute directly, ie.

void Models::ZipCode::setZipcode(const QString &value)
{
	zipcode = value;
}

But I'm used to always using the this pointer:

void Models::ZipCode::setZipcode(const QString &value)
{
	this->zipcode = value;
}

Are there any differences between these approaches or are they equivalent?

@Exotic_Devel they are equivalent , as long as the member variable and the argument do not share the exact same name.

But why would you insist on always writing this-> this isn't Python !
