Re: [Dev-C++] Friend functions

Possibly declare main as a friend in the private section  of MyClass instead?  Also, I'd get away from calling a friend member function main or Main, due to what the linker may try to do with that label.

I have problem with friend functions and namespaces.
Assume we have class "MyClass" defined in namespace "MyNameSpace":
namespace MyNameSpace
{
class MyClass
{
private:
int data;
public:
int func(){}
friend int main();
};
}

using namespace name;
int main()
{
C obj;
obj.data;
return 0;
}
I want to allow "main()" to access private members so I made it friend 
for the class. Since "main()" does not belong to "MyNameSpace" the 
compiler can not make it a friend for the class. It trys to find a 
"main()" function which belongs to the namespace not a "Main()" function 
outside.
Now I want to k now if there is solution for this problem.
Thanks,
