Question

I\'m trying to access a member structs variables, but I can\'t seem to get the syntax right. The two compile errors pr. access are: error C2274: \'function-style cast\' : i

Answer 1

You are only declaring Foo::Bar but you don't instantiate it (not sure if that's the correct terminology)

See here for usage:

#include 

using namespace std;

class Foo
{
    public:
    struct Bar
    {
        int otherdata;
    };
    Bar bar;
    int somedata;
};

int main(){
    Foo::Bar bar;
    bar.otherdata = 6;
    cout << bar.otherdata << endl;

    Foo foo;
    //foo.Bar.otherdata = 5;
    foo.bar.otherdata = 5;

    //cout << foo.Bar.otherdata;
    cout << foo.bar.otherdata << endl;

    return 0;
}
