Question

Hello I am trying to access a private member function is Gtest.
The code looks somewhat similar to this. So, how can I access static void Pri_fun?

using namespace std;
class test{

};
class abc{
public:
    friend class test;
private:
    static void Pri_fun()
        {
        cout << "private fun called \n";
        }
};
int main()
{
    abc ab;
    test *abd;
    abd->Pri_fun();
}

Since it’s a static function, you should access it via the class name:

abc::Pri_fun();

You should make a caller function though, or call it from the friend class’ constructor:

class test{
public:
    void foo() 
    {
        abc::Pri_fun();
    }
};

or

class test{
public:
    test() 
    {
        abc::Pri_fun();
    }
};
