Passing this into constructors for child classes

XtrmJosh

Hi all,

I'm looking to pass a pointer in to a constructor, to the class I'm instantiating it from. Something like this:

@Util::Util(Core * coar)
{
core = coar;
}@

Problem is I keep getting segmentation faults when I do this. I think it may be related to the way I'm instantiating, since I had to set fpermissive in order to run this code:

@Util * util = Util(this);@

Can someone advise why I get this segfault and how I can either work around or fix the issue?

Thanks

Hi,

If you need fpermissive to compile, that means your code doesn't conform to the C++ standard.

We'll need more error messages and more code to be able to see what the issue is.

I think what you need to do is:
@
Util * util = new Util(this);
@

Note the "new"
