This question already has an answer here: Leaking this in constructor warning 10 answers Why do IDE's complain about "leaking this in constructor"? I've always assumed that it's just bad practice. But I actually never found why it is bad. Leaking the this reference in the constructor (not controller) is dangerous, especially in a multithreaded environment. This is because the object is not fully constructed until the constructor call finishes. Leaking this from the constructor thus means that the external world gets access to an object which is not yet fully constructed. This may not

I thought this would be something I could easily google, but maybe I'm not asking the right question... How do I set whatever "this" refers to in a given javascript function? for example, like with most of jQuery's functions such as: $(selector).each(function() { //$(this) gives me access to whatever selector we're on }); How do I write/call my own standalone functions that have an appropriate "this" reference when called? I use jQuery, so if there's a jQuery-specific way of doing it, that'd be ideal. jAndy Javascripts .call() and .apply() methods allow you to set the context for a function.

This question already has an answer here: Javascript “addEventListener” Event Fires on Page Load [duplicate] 2 answers Short story, I don't know why it's not working, I've tried Console.Log() to figure out what 'this' is and the event just keeps passing window. It's a click event that's suppose to activate effects on a certain figure in this carousel, which is why I can't just individually search for class (at least to my knowledge). Any fix from the smarter? var carFigure = null; //----------The Events $('.figure').click(toggleCarousel(this)); //$('.figure').mouseover(stopCarousel(this)); //$

I'd like to avoid (most of the) warnings of Netbeans 6.9.1, and I have a problem with the 'Leaking this in constructor' warning. I understand the problem, calling a method in the constructor and passing " this " is dangerous, since " this " may not have been fully initialized. It was easy to fix the warning in my singleton classes, because the constructor is private and only called from the same class. Old code (simplified): private Singleton() { ... addWindowFocusListener(this); } public static Singleton getInstance() { ... instance = new Singleton(); ... } New code (simplified): private

I was reading the answers to this question C++ pros and cons and got this doubt while reading the comments. programmers frequently find it confusing that "this" is a pointer but not a reference. another confusion is why "hello" is not of type std::string but evaluates to a char const* (pointer) (after array to pointer conversion) – Johannes Schaub - litb Dec 22 '08 at 1:56 That only shows that it doesn't use the same conventions as other (later) languages. – le dorfier Dec 22 '08 at 3:35 I'd call the "this" thing a pretty trivial issue though. And oops, thanks for catching a few errors in my

Assume I have the following example: Example One $('.my_Selector_Selected_More_Than_One_Element').each(function() { $(this).stuff(); $(this).moreStuff(); $(this).otherStuff(); $(this).herStuff(); $(this).myStuff(); $(this).theirStuff(); $(this).children().each(function(){ howMuchStuff(); }); $(this).tooMuchStuff(); // Plus just some regular stuff $(this).css('display','none'); $(this).css('font-weight','bold'); $(this).has('.hisBabiesStuff').css('color','light blue'); $(this).has('.herBabiesStuff').css('color','pink'); } Now, it could be: Example Two $('.my_Selector_Selected_More_Than_One
