You know, it's fun like the constructor/destructor that makes me get out of bed to code c++. There is all sorts of fun stuff that can happen, for instance if you use a virtual function during destruct/construct it may be possible for the parent to call the child's function, and because the child has already been destroyed, you're fucked.

Now the prompt for this post came when making nested classes have access to their containing class:

class topNest{

protected:

   void callback(); // innerNest can use.



   class innerNest{

      public:

         innerNest(topNest &parent);



      private:

         topNest &mParent;

   };

   friend class innerNest;

};
