Access to method pointer to protected method?

Question

This code:

class B {
 protected:
  void Foo(){}
}

class D : public B {
 public:
  void Baz() {
    Foo();
  }
  void Bar() {
    printf(\"%x\\n\", &B::F         


        

Answer 1

Why can I call a protected method but not take its address?

This question has an error. You cannot do a call either

B *self = this;
self->Foo(); // error either!

As another answer says if you access the non-static protected member by a D, then you can. Maybe you want to read this?
