The interface is by definition for the exterior
By whose definition? And what is exterior? As far as I'm concerned,
anything exterior to an instance (even another instance of the same
class) should require some kind of interface. Blindly allowing some
class instances to meddle with other instances' private data is not
necessary the RIGHT THING TO DO(tm).
so not for the class
itself. And Like I don't use protected I don't use friend, in my
opinion protected and friend are hacks (a bandage if this is not use
like this in English) create for those who don't know how to use
objects.
Fine. You can live with your "opinion" that interface is the public
member functions only. It doesn't make it right, but you're entitled
to your opinion.
I specify I'm a fundamentalist, [..] So don't be
surprised if I got strange ideas.
As long as you don't go around blowing up World Trade Centers, I have
no problem with your fundamentalism (in C++ or otherwise). As to your
ideas, if even you specify them as "strange", why do you have them?
Get rid of them, or change them, to become normal in your own view.
