[ Example: class M { friend void f() { } // definition of global f, a friend of M, // not the definition of a member function }; =E2=80=94end example ] -7- Such a function is implicitly inline. A friend function defined in a cl= ass is in the (lexical) scope of the class in which it is defined. A friend function defined outside the class is not (3.4.1).
