When
a class (declaring class) declares another class
|
|
|
(friend
class) to be a friend, the friend class' member
|
|
|
functions
can invoke the protected or private member
|
|
|
functions
or use the protected or private data members of
|
|
|
the
declaring class.
|
|
| • |
To
do so, the friend class must have access to an object of
|
|
the
declaring class' type.
|
|
| • |
This
can be done by having an object of the friend class
|
|
|
as a
data member or a pointer to an object of the friend
|
|
|
class.
