Can you tell us what it is all about The type of `this' for class X used to be X* (Stroustrup pg137). This was changed to X* const(E&S pg 177). Hence "Can't Touch This". What makes this all the more interesting is the fact that nobody really knows what "this" means in the M C Hammer song. Arsenio asked him about it and he evaded the question. Amitabh Agrawal
