Thanks for all the answers, now lets get to the next level =)
I seen this code from one of my colleagues, and wonder wether this is valid C++:
~CMyclass()
{
foo(this);
}
To quote the standard:
"The lifetime of an object of type T ends when:
* if T is a class type with a non-trivial destructor (12.4), the
destructor call starts, or
* the storage which the object occupies is reused or released."
So you are passing a pointer to an undead object, I can expect this
could yield interesting results in some contexts, but since you still
have to access the object members during the destruction there isnt
much a compiler could mess up?
But I`d be interested what should/could happen if derived destructors
already did their work, and foo tries to use RTTI (dynamic_cast,
typeid). I suspect this is undefined behaviour anyway given that these
could throw, and similarly dangerous as accessing virtual functions
that might have overrides in the derived classes.
