This brings up a question: If you are able to use a friend function outside of the class, you could write your function as a friend function, and then an alias outside of that class that would just call and return the friend function, right? Only issue is when modifying class data I think, you couldn't exactly pass a pointer to the class, so your best bet would be to hold that in a void* or something.

C doesn't know what a class is. The easiest approach is to create a function that is free of name-mangling outside of the class that references the function in the class. Then your C code can address the C++ function (i.e. the linker can find the function at link-time). -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
