Accessing a class Object by pointer in another class

[pdoria]

Hi All,

I recognize that this question falls pretty much into C++, but since I'm using the threaded server example to develop a server, please bare with me...

As to my question:
the server class is defined as followed:

class Server : public QTcpServer
{
		Q_OBJECT
 
	public:
		unsigned int nbrClients;
		Server ( QObject *parent = 0 );
 
	protected:
		void incomingConnection ( int socketDescriptor );
};

class Server : public QTcpServer
{
		Q_OBJECT

	public:
		unsigned int nbrClients;
		Server ( QObject *parent = 0 );

	protected:
		void incomingConnection ( int socketDescriptor );
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

in myunit.cpp the constructor:
myUnit ( int socketDescriptor, QObject *parent );

in server.cpp I initiate the object like this:
myUnit *munit = new myUnit ( socketDescriptor,this );

in myunit.cpp I have a member function that gets fired upon the socket disconnected state by this:
connect ( &tcpSocket, SIGNAL ( disconnected() ), this, SLOT ( disconnected() ) );

this is the member function:
void myUnit::disconnected()
{
//server::nbrClients--; provided for clarity of purpose...
this->quit();
}

What I need is to access the nbrClients member inside this function as to decrement it upon socket disconnection...
I'll appreciate any pointers on how to do so.
Thanks in advance.
