'Define a friend function for a static class method?
Does someone know how to let outside world access private static methods? The only way I could think of is via friend function, but that doesn't seem to work.
Header file here:
#pragma once
#include <iostream>
class MyClass {
public:
friend void AtFork();
private:
static void Disp() { std::cout << "hello world" << std::endl; }
};
impl file here:
#include "test.h"
namespace {
void AtFork() {
MyClass::Disp();
}
}
int main() {
AtFork();
}
The error message is:
test.cc:6:11: error: 'Disp' is a private member of 'MyClass'
MyClass::Disp();
^
./test.h:10:15: note: declared private here
static void Disp() { std::cout << "hello world" << std::endl; }
context: to get fork-safe (due to a bunch of legacy code), I have a reinitialize a 3rd library by binding a fork hook, and I don't think it should be exposed to public.
For the above example, it's let AtFork being able to call MyClass::Disp.
