$ cat test.cpp class Foo { static void f() {} }; int main() { Foo foo; void (*f)(); f = foo.f; return 0; } $ g++ -Wall test.cpp && echo "success" success If trying compile it with another compiler http://cpp.sourceforge.net/?show=18471 I got something like this: ComeauTest.c(7): error: function "Foo::f" is inaccessible f = foo.f;
Confirmed.
