I am not confusing header files and documentation. Allow me to
explain:
I have a structure that only the implementation of the class uses.
But, since C++ forces the entire class to be defined in the .h file,
then all implementation functions must also be defined in the .h
file. Files that #include the .h file can still only 'see' the
interface, so that's fine. But, as a result, these implementation
functions that use implementation-only structures force these
structures to be defined in the .h file, making them visible to all
files that #include the .h file.
I'm not sure I understand. How did you get by in C without
defining the struct in the header? You can wrap exactly the
same technique in a class.
