Is there any good solution to resolve cross-reference between two class in c++?

Question

My use case is following

class Caller
{
  init(){ Callee.init(); }
  callMeByCalle() { /*do something*/ }
}

class Callee
{
  init(){ /*initialize to receive IPC call from another process*/ }
  onHandlerIPC { /*call A class's callMeByCalle() in here*/ }
}

Maybe I can pass the instance of A class when I call init() of Callee. But I think it could cause a cross-reference problem. Is there any formal or famous solution for this situation?

there are ways to "make it work", but I would first consider if you can fix the design. Imho mutual dependency is something to be avoided — 463035818_is_not_an_ai, Feb 27 '19 at 14:35
@NathanOliver The question is not clear on it, but given that it's tagged `design-patterns`, I don't think we are talking about a compiler error here. — Max Langhof, Feb 27 '19 at 14:36
@MaxLanghof I get that. That point remains that it shows how two classes can use each other in a way that it will compile. — NathanOliver, Feb 27 '19 at 14:37
