C++ protected访问说明符

protected 访问说明符

C++ Primer：Members defined after the protected keyword may be accessed by the members and friends of a derived class. However, these members are only accessible through derived objects. protected members are not accessible to ordinary users of the class

这段话的意思其实就是：

1.可以被派生类的成员和友元访问，但是

2.只能在派生类对象内部访问，派生类的一般使用者无法访问

结合实例来理解

class base
{
protected:
	int m_prot;
private:
	int m_pri;
};

class derived:public base
{
	friend int af(derived &b);
public:
	int as()
	{ 
		m_prot = 5;//OK，派生类成员函数中访问基类的protected成员
		return 0;
	}
};

int af(derived &b){ b.m_prot = 9; return 0; }//OK，派生类的友元函数中访问
int main()
{
	derived d;
	d.as();//OK
	af(d);//OK
	d.m_prot;//illegal，派生类的一般使用者无法访问基类的protected成员
	base b;
	b.m_prot;//illegal，protected成员无法被类的一般使用者访问
	
}
