I wrote a small piece of code to test friend functions. It worked fine for methods that didn't belong to a specific class but when I tried to put it into a class all it can access is the public variables (just as any object would).
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
class something{
int ip = 100;
public:
int x = 100;
void getIP();
friend void cIP::changeIP(something);
};
void something::getIP(){
cout << ip << endl;
}
class cIP{
public:
int i;
cIP();
cIP(int nIP);
something some;
void changeIP(something s);
};
cIP::cIP(){
i = 100;
}
cIP::cIP(int nIP){
i = nIP;
}
void cIP::changeIP(something s){
s.ip = i;
}
s.ip brings up the error member is inaccessible.
