*this is an lvalue so decltype(*this) is indeed A<T>&.
from MSDN:
The volatile keyword is a type qualifier used to declare that an object can be modified in the program by something other than statements, such as the operating system, the hardware, or a concurrently executing thread.
The following example declares a volatile integer nVint whose value can be modified by external processes:
int volatile nVint;
Objects declared as volatile are not used in optimizations because their value can change at any time. The system always reads the current value of a volatile object at the point it is requested, even if the previous instruction asked for a value from the same object. Also, the value of the object is written immediately on assignment.
One use of the volatile qualifier is to provide access to memory locations used by asynchronous processes such as interrupt handlers.
This means a value that can automatically change at any given instance. This is usually in reference to a hardware register that often has a different value ever time you read it. Specifically, it is useful to define some values as volatile so that a C compiler will not cache that value, but rather, get a fresh copy every time you request it's value. Otherwise, the compiler may return values which are inaccurate because it doesn't realized the value can change.

以const 修饰的常量值，具有不可变性。
C++的编译器通常不为普通const常量分配存储空间，而是将它们保存在符号表中，这使得它成为一个编译期间的常量。
const 用于指针的两种情况分析：
int const *a; //a/可变，*a不可变
int *const a; //a不可变，*a可变
比如：
typedef char* pStr;
char string[4] = "abc";
//限定*p1不可变，当然p1可变。
const char* p1 = string;
const pStr p2 = string;
p1++; //可行 输出bc
p2++; //不可行
const int nValue; //nValue 是const
const char* pContent; //*pContent是const, pContent可变
char* const pContent; //pContent是const, *pContent可变
const char* const pContent; //pContent和*pContent都是const
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

John Socha-Leialoha - MSFT
In my previous post, Writing Unit Tests in Visual Studio for Native C++, I described the approach I’m using to write unit tests for native C++ code by using C++/CLI, which is C++ code that runs inside the .NET runtime. Because of this “mixed” programming model, there are some techniques you may need to employ between C++ and C++/CLI code.
Class Instance Variables
The instance variables in C++/CLI classes are different from instance variables in naïve C++, which means you can’t mix the two blindly. For example, you can’t use native C++ classes as instance variables in your test class. The following, for example, will not compile:
public ref class MyFixture
{
MyClass m_instance;
};
You’ll get the following error message:
error C4368: cannot define 'm_instance' as a member of managed 'Tests::MyFixture': mixed types are not supported
So how do you deal with this? Instead of using a class as the type, you have to use pointers and then create/destroy the instance in the TestInitialize and TestCleanup code:
public ref class MyFixture
{
[TestInitialize]
void Initialize()
{
m_pInstance = new MyClass();
}
[TestCleanup]
void Cleanup()
{
delete m_pInstance;
}
MyClass *m_pInstance;
};
The methods marked by TestInitialize and TestCleanup run before and after each test method.
Passing a Pointer to an Instance Variable
C++/CLI instance variables have a type of interior_ptr<T> instead of the type you wrote in your code. This makes a difference if you attempt to pass either the address or a reference to this instance variable to a native C++ method or function. For example, given the class above, you might think you could write a call to one of your native methods like this:
p->SomeMethod(&m_pInstance);
Compile this and you’ll see this message:
error C2664: 'Tests::MyFixture::MyTest' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'cli::interior_ptr<Type>' to 'MyClass **'
This error appears because .NET uses a heap—items on the heap can be moved as a result of garbage collection. In order to send a pointer to a native method/function, you need to “pin” the pointer for the duration of the call, which you can do like this:
cli::pin_ptr<MyClass *> p = &m_pInstance;
SomeMethod(static_cast<MyClass **>(p));
Once the variable p either goes out of scope, or is assigned a new value, the pointer will be free to change again.
When you’re dealing with helper methods in your test code, you can also write this type of code:
Helper(&m_pInstance);
...
void Helper(cli::interior_ptr<MyClass *> ppInstance)
{
**ppInstance = new MyClass();
}
2011年3月2日
function<void()> task = bind( &File::HashFile, static_cast<HashFn>(bind(&Comparator::CompareData, ref(compare), _1, _2, _3, false)), ref(*pFile1) );
function<void()> task = [&](){ File::HashFile( bind(&Comparator::CompareData, ref(compare), _1, _2, _3, false), *pFile1 ); };
function<void()> task = [&](){ File::HashFile([&](const void *pv, size_t cb, const char *szDesc) { compare.CompareData(pv, cb, szDesc, false); }, *pFile1 ); };
(Random comment: The 170 lines of incomprehensible errors you get if you forget the static_cast<HashFn> on the first line is completely obnoxious. [HashFn is a typedef for function<void(const void *, size_t, const char *)>])
The last one is the best
Lambdas supersede bind() 99% of the time - they are easier to read, easier to write, more efficient, and don't explode horribly. The remaining 1% of cases are better handled by handwritten functors (e.g. with templated function call operators).
This is especially true now that 16.1/VC11's lambdas v1.1 handle nested lambdas just fine. (In contrast, nested bind() is a bug farm, which has been tormenting me for years.)
I wish it was true…
Lambdas aren’t polymorphic (and even when I write my own ad hoc function objects I prefer to make them stateless and just use bind for state)
You do not have to specify the argument(s) type(s)
IMHO, for simple bindings, bind is easier to read
Bind has been around for so many years that, at least to me, it just come natural.
I completely agree about nested binds: understanding them is mindbending.
MSDN has conflicting information about nullptr/__nullptr and /clr:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465215(VS.100).aspx says:
The Visual C++ compiler lets you use the nullptr keyword with native code or with managed code. ... The compiler interprets nullptr to be managed code when you use the /clr compiler option, and native code when you do not use the /clr option.
Then adds:
The Microsoft-specific __nullptr keyword has the same meaning as nullptr, but it applies to native code only. If you compile native C/C++ code by using the /clr compiler option, the compiler cannot determine whether the nullptr keyword is a native or a managed term. To make your intention clear to the compiler, use the nullptr keyword to specify the managed term, and __nullptr to specify the native term.
Highlighted part indicates that compiler cannot determine whether it is native or managed, but the previous paragraph just said it will interpret it as managed.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4ex65770.aspx says the same "cannot determine" thing and then gives an example to contrary:
The following sample shows that nullptr can be assigned to a native pointer when you compile with /clr.
// mcpp_nullptr_6.cpp
// compile with: /clr
int main() {
int * i = 0;
int * j = nullptr;
}
So what should I expect from all of this? I am guessing that the compiler takes nullptr as managed with /clr,
because otherwise there wouldn't be a way to say nullptr in managed, and the sample is just an old garbage?
Here's how it's supposed to work, and what MSDN should say:
__nullptr is always the Native Nullptr, regardless of whether the compilation is native, /clr, or /clr:pure.
std::nullptr_t is always the Native Nullptr's Type, regardless of whether the compilation is native, /clr, or /clr:pure. It is defined by <cstddef>. For good measure (as permitted but not required by C++0x), both <cstddef> and <stddef.h> define both std::nullptr_t and ::nullptr_t. JonCaves even made the compiler join the fun - it defines std::nullptr_t (but not ::nullptr_t) even in the absence of any headers whatsoever.
nullptr is the Native Nullptr when compiled as native (as required by C++0x).
nullptr is the Managed Nullptr Of Doom when compiled as /clr or /clr:pure (as required by the Necronomicon,
which is to say C++/CLI).
That said, I don't know how the Managed Nullptr works, except that I've heard that "it doesn't have a type",
a concept from which my mind recoils in fear. There's been a little talk of unifying these things,
but I don't think anybody has figured out what that would involve yet. When this came up I said:
> Regarding A Tale Of Two Nullptrs, I've heard several times that the problem is that the managed nullptr
"doesn't have a type", whatever that means, while the native nullptr has a type.
I don't know what it'd take to unify them (I assume that the native nullptr would have to "win",
since it cannot be infected with managedness, and conversions to managed stuff would have to be added to make
up the difference - and too bad for anyone who inspects nullptr closely and is surprised to discover that it
now has a type - I think all of those words in that order make sense), other than the fact that it
wasn't obviously simple enough for JonCaves to do in the first place.
> The Iron Nullptr Curtain causes more user suffering than STL suffering, though -
our only real interaction is in the definition of std::nullptr_t where we simply say decltype(__nullptr).
In the rest of our implementation, we just use NULL/0 (Dinkumware overwhelmingly prefers 0, as I recall).
In this case, perhaps the ambiguity in the docs is a reflection of the thing itself. If nullptr is always
the MNOD when compiled with /clr, then why does the compiler allow int* j to be initialized with it,
as shown in the code example referred to below? I don’t know why the docs say “the compiler cannot determine…”
because at least in these simple initializations it seems to know what to do (converting nullptr to nullptr_t
when the lhs is a native type, regardless of /clr?). But I’m curious what pain this causes or might cause for users.
Is there ever a case where the non-identity of these two things leaks out? If so, then we should really mention that
in the docs.
// mcpp_nullptr_6.cpp
// compile with: /clr
int main() {
int * i = 0;
int * j = nullptr; //what IS j now?
int^ k = nullptr; //the same or different?
}
