     Compiler error C2248
 
     'member' : cannot access 'specifier' member declared in class
     'class'
 
     The specified private or protected member of a class, structure,
     or union was accessed.
 
     This error can be caused by accessing a member that is declared
     as private or protected, or by accessing a public member of a
     base class that is inherited with private or protected access.
 
     The member should be accessed through a member function with
     public access or should be declared with public access.
 
     The following is an example of this error:
 
          class X
          {
          public:
             int pubMemb;
             void setPrivMemb( int i ) { privMemb = i; }
          protected:
             int protMemb;
          private:
             int privMemb;
          } x;
 
          class Y : X {} y;       // default access to X is private
 
          void main()
          {
             x.privMemb;          // error, privMemb is private
             x.protMemb;          // error, protMemb is protected
             y.pubMemb;           // error, Y inherits X as private
             x.pubMemb;           // OK, pubMemb is public
             x.setPrivMemb( 0 );  // OK, uses public access function
          }
