I was browsing Qt sources, and noticed this

QUuid &operator=(const GUID &guid)
{
    *this = QUuid(guid);
    return *this;
}

I’ve never seen assignment to “this” before. What does assignment to “this” do?

    That is not an assignment to this but to the object pointed by this. That will effectively call operator=( QUuid const & ) on the current object.
