Thread: reference to self ... so to speak

It's really just assigning

pointer = this;

But then you could just use "this" directly.

I think I really must be missing something in the question

Sorry to burst your bubble, but:

Code:

class myClass
{
    myClass* pointer;
}

This is a pointer to the same class type.

Code:

class myClass
{
    myClass& reference;
}

This is a reference to the same class type.

And this is C++, not C (big difference).
