FWIW, it does in fact compile in 4.2 (and in 4.0) when formatted as
you suggest. I still believe the original format is correct and that
4.2 is the version with the bug. The info Clark Cox pointed out seems
to support that. In any case, a bug has been filed, so I'll know
Apple's point of view eventually :) Thanks for the input (and thanks
also to Clark and Thomas for responding).

I'm not a C++ expert but your code below should not compile (as I
see it)
You should declare the friend function inside the class:
class test1
{
public:
friend test1* newtest1(int x);
/*
the function newtest1() is now a friend to test1 class and may
access private member variables
and functions such as finishinit()
*/
snip....
};
then define the function outside the class:
test1* newtest1(int x)
{
test1* anobj = new test1();
anobj->finishinit(x);
return anobj;
}
So if you code worked with gcc 4.0 and not gcc 4.2, then it seems
gcc 4.2 now works according to the C++ standard
and gcc 4.0 did not

Hmmm, no response as of yet. I went ahead and submitted a bug against
Xcode: rdar://6135771
We'll see what happens.

Hi all,
I'm using Xcode 3.1 and just switched to gcc 4.2 from 4.0, but I've
run into a problem with friend functions when compiling in
objective-
c++. I contrived an example that illustrates the problem:
1. Created new Cocoa project
2. Forced compilation of all files to use objective-c++
3. Changed content of main.m to below...
This project builds fine using gcc 4.0, but when I switch the
compiler setting to use gcc 4.2, I get the errors listed below. Any
clues would certainly be appreciated if I'm doing something wrong.
If not, I guess I'll file a bug...
Here's main.m:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
class test1
{
public:
friend test1* newtest1(int x)
{
test1* anobj = new test1();
anobj->finishinit(x);
return anobj;
}
virtual ~test1()
{
}
private:
int avalue;
test1()
{
avalue = 0;
}
void finishinit(int x)
{
avalue = x;
}
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
test1* tobj = newtest1(5);
delete tobj;
return NSApplicationMain(argc, (const char **) argv);
}
Here's the build log:
