Talk:Getter and setter policy
| Line 7: | Line 7: | ||
If the object has to call its getters and settings to change its own variables then changes to the variables internally would be subjected to the same constraints as calls through the public interface. This also would mean that internal calls would always have the same constraints as public calls. Would you want this? I mean might there be exceptions to this rule? --[[User:BenMcDonald|BenMcDonald]] 06:44, 28 July 2009 (UTC) | If the object has to call its getters and settings to change its own variables then changes to the variables internally would be subjected to the same constraints as calls through the public interface.

Don't tell me everyone agrees where is the fun in that?
I just have to completely agree with the first paragraph. I also try to always use this->FunctionName() to make the difference between internal and external function calls clear. Python, for instance, enforces such a syntax ( self.FunctionName() ). --TobiW
Very nice little style guide there, I would back that 100% --AlexGee 02:09, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
