As for ‘delete this;’, it is overused and dangerous in the wrong hands, but it can be appropriate for an object that controls its own lifetime and you know you won’t have pointers or references to it. In this case, just from the snippet you provided you can see the object is probably using intrusive reference counting and just implementing it by hand. I might prefer using standard smart pointers instead of reimplementing it by hand, possibly including using enable_shared_from_this if appropriate, but I haven’t inspected the code. Read More »
