Thanks for taking the time to correct that, anyway.
Maybe you feel less heated about this when I try to explain that there
are good reasons for separating methods and fields:
1. Methods and fields are very different things and contribute very
differently to the object at runtime (like object size, etc.).
You may argue that the compiler already does the job of separating the
two, but:
2. C++ initializers expect you to put the fields in the order of
appearance in the source file, and
3. If you place several shorter fields together, they will take up less
space, and
4. You sometimes need to take special care about binary compatibility.
For this you must know (and not change) the size of the object at
runtime, and may not change the order of the fields.
This will all benefit from grouping fields together in the class
declaration.
The extra "private:" may be omitted, but I prefer to put it there, as it
further separates the two sections.
Bye,
Axel.
