I'm trying to figure out what is the smartest way to name private methods and private static methods in C#. Background: I know that the best practice for private members is underscore-prefix + camelcase. You could argue this with me, but trust me I've seen enough code from hardcore pros that follow this convention, it is the skilled in...
I'm using Damian Conway's "inside-out" objects as described is his wonderful book Perl Best Practices to construct an object-oriented interface to a security system at my client. I'm coming across the need to use internal helper methods within my module that I would normally designate as "_some_method". However, this seems to break enc...
As succinctly described here, overriding private methods in Java is invalid because a parent class's private methods are "automatically final, and hidden from the derived class". My question is largely academic. How is it not a violation of encapsulation to not allow a parent's private method to be "overridden" (ie, implemented indepen...

In many frameworks, internal function variables are used as private variables, for example Raphael = (function(){ var _private = function(a,b) {return a+b;}; var _public = function(a) {return _private(a,a);} var object = {mult2:_public}; return object; })(); here, we cannot access from the global namespace the variable...
In reading TCPL, I got a problem, as the title refered, and then 'private' class is: class Unique_handle { private: Unique_handle& operator=(const Unique_handle &rhs); Unique_handle(const Unique_handle &rhs); public: //... }; the using code is: struct Y { //... Unique_handle obj; }; and I want to execute such op...

I'm new to PHP and I'm trying to build a site for the first time without using a framework (n.b. I have nothing against frameworks, I just think I should learn to code from scratch before learning a framework on top of it. Sort of like learning Javascript before learning JQuery). I like OOP in concept, so I started there. I'm thinking o...
I have some code (that I can't easily modify), of the following form: def foo(x): do_other_stuff_that_I_do_not_want_to_do() def bar(): "do something" str(x) bar() I would like to call bar(), directly, from the Python shell. I don't mind using co_globals, or other internal bits. I have the feeling that this may b...
In C++ and Java, data structures can have private, public and protected regions. I'd like to port this concept to a C language program I am writing. Are there any idioms for implementing private or protected function pointers and data fields in a C struct? I know that C structs are public, I'm looking for an idiom to help hide some i...
hey guys general consensus I've done quite a lot of reading up on the subject of testing complex classes and private methods. The general consensus seems to be: "if you need to test private methods then you're class is badly designed" "if your class is complex, then you need to separate it out" So, I need your help. the problem C...
I'm working on a homework assignment for my object oriented design class, and I'm running into trouble with Scala's companion objects. I've read in a few places that companion objects are supposed to have access to their companion class's private methods, but I can't seem to get it to work. (Just as a note, the meat of the assignment had...
