Hi. This function is private to prevent its call from outside of class
A. There is no clean way how to call this function.

You could do a dirty hack:

#define private public
class A
{
private:
void show() {cout<<"Private function called";} //
};
#undef private

But it is not actually "not changing" the class.

Nobody should attempt to call private function directly - 'private' is
there to prevent it. As class user you should forget, that any private
function even exists, because it may require some special
pre-/postcondition to be fulfilled before/after it is called.
