Dear c/g++ programers:

I am using g++ 4.5.2 to test a program, claimed can be compiled/run
well in
msvc++7.1 But my compiler reponse many mistake, especially it access
the
address of private member(data), my g++ disallow it.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

class MyClass {

public:
MyClass() : ival_(0), sval_("foo") {}
~MyClass() {}

void incr() {++ival_;}
void decr() {ival_--;}

private:
std::string sval_;
int ival_;
};

int main() {
MyClass obj;

int         MyClass::* mpi = &MyClass::ival_;  // Data member
std::string MyClass::* mps = &MyClass::sval_;  // pointers

void (MyClass::*mpf)(); // A pointer to a member function that
// takes no params and returns void
void (*pf)();           // A normal function pointer

int* pi = &obj.ival_;   // int pointer referring to int member--no
// problem.

mpf = &MyClass::incr;   // A pointer to a member function.  You
can't
// write this value to a stream.  Look at it
// in your debugger to see what its
// representation looks like.

// pf = &MyClass::incr;
// Error: &MyClass::incr is not an instance
// of an function

std::cout << "mpi = " << mpi << '\n';
std::cout << "mps = " << mps << '\n';
std::cout << "pi = " << pi << '\n';
std::cout << "*pi = " << *pi << '\n';

obj.*mpi = 5;
obj.*mps = "bar"

(obj.*mpf)();  // now obj.ival_ is 6

std::cout << "obj.ival_ = " << obj.ival_ << '\n';
std::cout << "obj.sval_ = " << obj.sval_ << '\n';
}

Need expert's help to modify this example program so it can compile/
run on my
system. And thanks a lot in advance, Eric
