Why does the xcode IDE think `friend` is a reserved-word

Question

My question is why does the xcode IDE seem to think that the word friend is a keyword/reserved-word?

Answer 1

Presumably because friend is a reserved word in C++. See Friendship and inheritance.

You could try modifying your xCode settings for the compiler to see if the IDE picks this up. See Can I use C++11 with Xcode?
