Consider the following snippet of code:
#include <iostream>
class Base
{
public:
Base()
{
std::cout << "Base::constr" << std::endl;
print();
}
virtual ~Base() = default;
void print() const
{
printImpl();
}
private:
virtual void printImpl() const
{
std::cout << "Base::printImpl" << std::endl;
}
};
class Derived : public Base
{
public:
Derived()
{
std::cout << "Derived::constr" << std::endl;
}
private:
void printImpl() const override
{
std::cout << "Derived::printImpl" << std::endl;
}
};
int main()
{
Base* ptr = new Derived();
ptr->print();
delete ptr;
return 0;
}
The above code will print the following:
Base::constr
Base::printImpl
Derived::constr
Derived::printImpl
but I don't understand why printImpl
private function is accessible from the base's print
function. In my understanding this
pointer implicitly passed to the print
function holds the derived object's address, but I thought private member functions could be called ONLY from the member functions (and from friend
functions) of the same class and here, Base
class is not the same class as Derived
, although there is an is a
relationship.
