CLASS, LOCAL FRIENDS

CLASS class DEFINITION
            LOCAL FRIENDS class1 class2 ...
                          intf1  intf2  ...

Effect

This statement makes the local classes and interfaces class1 class2 ... and intf1 intf2 ... of a class pool friends of its global class class. At least one class or one interface must be specified.

This statement does not introduce a declaration part and must not be closed using the ENDCLASS statement.

Notes

• The declaration of local classes of a class pool as friends of the global class is particularly necessary for local test classes that test the private components of the global class.

• This variant of the statement CLASS can also only be listed in the context described under CLASS.

• If the local classes and interfaces class1 class2 ... and intf1 intf2 ... are to have access to all components of the global class class in their declaration part, the statement must first be specified in the class pool, for which the local classes and interfaces must first be registered using CLASS - or INTERFACE - DEFERRED.
  
  

Example

In the CL_DEMO_AMDP_MESH class, the cl_test_selects class from the test include is declared in the CCDEF include as a local friend of the global class, so that its private methods can be tested.

CLASS cl_test_selects DEFINITION DEFERRED.
CLASS cl_demo_amdp_mesh DEFINITION LOCAL FRIENDS cl_test_selects.
