Befriend during runtime?

[heelios.hantonei]

Hi,

I'm currently writting an application and I was wondering if there was
a way to declare a class friend of another during runtime?

Thanks.

No, there isn't. Why do you want to? Perhaps there is another way of
accomplishing what you need to do.

Best regards,

Could you explain what that means? Friendship (in the C++ sense) is about
being able to grant access rights during compilation to allow access to
private and/or protected elements of a class. If the class isn't a friend
class at compile time, you can't compile the code, which means there *is
no code* accessing the class that you can even grant access to at runtime.

So even if you could somehow declare the class a friend, what does it
practically gain you, since you can't go back and compile the code you
need?
