implication of private in C

Question

What is the implication of "private unsigned char" in C?

Answer 1

The probable implication of 'private' in C is that you have a macro that defines private as something, possibly:

#define private static

There is no keyword 'private' in pure (standard) C. You might be using a C++ compiler (in which case there are all sorts of caveats about what private is used for), or you might be using some non-standard extension in your compiler.
