I know that in C++, you use either ->
or ::
instead of .
in language such as C# to access object's values, e.g. button->Text
or System::String^
, but I don't know when I should use ->
or ::
, and it is very frustrating as it causes me many compiler errors. I would be very grateful if you could help. Thanks :)
I try to show an examples of some usages of ::
, .
and ->
. I hope it helps:
int g;
namespace test
{
struct Test
{
int x;
static void func();
};
void Test:: func() {
int g = ::g;
}
}
int main() {
test::Test v;
test::Test *p = &v;
v.x = 1;
v.func();
p->x = 2;
p->func();
test::Test::func();
}
