What do y'all think? --------------------------------------------------------------------- // Check that initialization of private data members is illegal // except via the use of an explicit constructor. class friendly; class base { int data_member_1; // private data member public: int data_member_2; friend class friendly; // prevent warnings void function_member (); }; void test () { base object = { 3, 5 }; // ERROR object.function_member (); // prevent warnings } --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- // Ron Guilmette - MCC - Experimental Systems Kit Project // 3500 West Balcones Center Drive, Austin, TX 78759 - (512)338-3740 // ARPA: rfg@mcc.com // UUCP: {rutgers,uunet,gatech,ames,pyramid}!cs.utexas.edu!pp!rfg
