Answer 1

Hi etwc,

I’m confused about the nested ort proxy class you mentioned above. Can you give us more detail information about what you exactly want to do? If you get some problem with some special class, please provide some code sample, which will be helpful.

Cheers,

Yi

Answer 3

A nested class has full access to all parts of the enclosing class. ISTR talking about this circa VC++ 2003, which did not permit it. To be fair, I'm pretty sure it was an addition to the original C++ Standard. Anyway, later versions do implement the feature. A class that is not nested would have to be made a friend.

IIRC allowing access from a nested class to enclosing-class members is new in C++0x, but many compilers, including VC++, started supporting it several years ago.
