[Inkscape-devel] friend declaration problem

Hi all,

I added a proper constructor for nodepath that does nothing at the moment. It should be private, people should use sp_nodepath_new to create new nodepaths. However, this does not work:

namespace Inkscape { namespace NodePath { class Path { private: Path() {}; friend Path * sp_nodepath_new (SPDesktop *, SPObject *, bool, const char *, SPItem *);

...

};

} }

Inkscape::NodePath::Path * sp_nodepath_new (SPDesktop * desktop, SPObject *object, bool show_handles, const char * repr_key = NULL, SPItem *item = NULL);

This gives a compiler error when newing Path in sp_nodepath_new.

Can someone else try and see if it works on Linux for example?

thanks a bunch,

Johan
