Now after "." or "->" i see suggestions, sorted by alphabet without checking visibility. And i must click "Public Methods" to hide all unusable variants, when class dont have access to private or protected members another class. Can you add check, have this class access to private members another class, and if not - automatically use option "Public methods"?

We are considering doing this, but there are some edge cases that make it tricky:

And please don't forget special cases where this rule does not apply:

Foo::Foo(const Foo &rhs)
{
   m_protectedVar = rhs.m_protectedVar;
}

class Foo
{
   friend class Bar;
};

Bar::Test(const Foo &foo)
{
   cout << rhs.m_protectedVar;
}

There are going to be quite a lot of edge cases where this might run into problems. Friend functions / classes are one of the main reasons I was reluctant about this feature request.

I am just waiting for someone to post saying they use macro's to introduce the friend keyword

Actually, a macro for friend+inheritance+template makes it possible to create singleton-classes quite elegantly.

I know I've seen several proposals on this. Beware! :P

Basically it is always going to be possible to design code that compiles but that confuses our parser, since VA is not a compiler *sigh*
