Hi All,
In C++ , if a function or class is declared friend, then where is that
information stored? How does friend function get access to private
data of a Class?
Thanks

C++ friendship is all at compile time: it tells the compiler what access
is allowed. There is no effect at run time. No information is stored
in the program or by the program; it's all in the compiler's mind, so to
speak.

Hi,,
How does a Class Come to Known that it has Given Access to Private
Member variable's ------>to Group Certain Class's ?
what action it Need to Take when Other Non friend Class Access Its
variable ??
i want Explanation in term of Symbol Table
Thanks

I'm not quite sure what you are asking about, but given the context of
the thread you are posting in I guess that what you are asking is how
information about access to members (private/protected/public) are
stored and enforced in the application. If this is not your question
then please clarify.
The answer is that such information is not stored in the application
itself, it's only used by the compiler while parsing the code. While
parsing the code it checks so that you only access private members from
within the class or from friends and so on. If you violate any of those
rules it generates an error and does not produce any executable. So the
access specifiers are purely compile-time constructs.

How does a class know that it cannot access a variable with a
certain name of another class? How does it know if that variable
even exists?
If the compiler can give you an error if some code tries to
access the private member of another class, why wouldn't it be
anything else than completely trivial for the compiler to see
that the class is actually saying that the code is allowed to
access it? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Question: How do friend functions and static member functions differ in
terms of functionality? I mean, neither necessarily needs an object of
the class to be created before they are called and either has access
only to static members of the class (ie. assuming no object of the
class is in scope - neither by arguments recieved nor by local
declarations). Any static member function like this:
//accessing static member i

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
