private structure

[Ahmed Ossman]

Hi all,
I have a question here:
Following is the code:

class x {
private:
typedef int myint;

struct mystr {
myint stInt; <<<<< The Compiler said here that: x:: myint can
not be accessable from x::mystr , whyy???
}

struct mystr2{
x::mystr strInstant; <<<<< The Compiler said here that: x::mystr
can not be accessable from x::mystr2 ????

}
}

could any one help.
BTW: I use Compiler:
Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C 5.3 Patch 111679-08 2002/05/09

Thanks in advance,

Ahmed Ossman

You're missing semicolons.

Defining a structure inside a class just defines the type name in that context.
It doesn't convey any special access to the enclosing class.

11.8 is pretty clear:

The members of a nested class have no special access to members of the enclosing
class.

An example that follows shows the same thing you are trying to do as an error.
