[edit] Note for editors

I saw that this article has been discussed at the following Google Groups thread. (If that link goes dead, search for a thread entitled "How to fix a program that depends on friend injection?" that began on March 11 2007). Note that at one time this article depended on information in Vandevoorde and Josuttis. David himself has edited this article to reflect that the book was slightly incorrect with respect to function template overloading (and noted that he had in the thread mentioned). Given all this, I ask future editors to be particularly careful to not inadvertedly re-introduce mistakes that have been corrected. Many thanks, Pcb21 Pete 09:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I think we should add this note as a comment, to make sure anyone attempting to edit the article will see it. I'd expect a correction to be posted in reasonable time on the book errata, since David kindly forwarded a note to Nicolai, who maintains the errata page. When that will happen, we can change that comment to something like "note: see errata at http://... etc. etc." —Gennaro Prota•Talk 08:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
