gcc version 3.0.1 (prerelease) give the following warning:
warning: `class Bar' only defines private constructors and has no friends
even when class Bar has public static methods. The result is that a proper
singleton gets the warning when it shouldn't.
The maybe_warn_about_overly_private_class(t) function in cp/class.c admits
that:
/* A non-private static member function is just like a
friend; it can create and invoke private member
functions, and be accessed without a class
instance. */
and even has a `if (DECL_STATIC_FUNCTION_P (fn))' but the warning is
displayed anyway.
Just letting you know.
Michael
