Hello there, Give the following C++ code
class A { private: void f(); }; class B { private: friend void A :: f(); }; then g++ 3.4.2 and g++ 3.4 snapshot 20050128 say [EMAIL PROTECTED] Alphasrc]$ ~/gnu/20050128/results/bin/g++ -c friend2.cc friend2.cc:5: error: `void A::f()' is private friend2.cc:11: error: within this context I checked a couple of other C++ compilers, and they were happy with the code. I checked Stroustrup 3, section 11.5, page 279 in my copy. He has similar code, and he appears to claim that the code should be ok. Would I be correct in thinking that the definition of the language has recently changed in this area ? -- Summary: error for legal friend statement ?
