[pygccxml-development] protected/private member functions

[Roman Y. <rom...@gm...>]

Hi. I need your ( user - developer ) input on next problem:
what do you expect from py++, when it deals with class/class hierarchy
that has protected/private (pure)virtual functions.

protected function?

static protected function?

virtual protected function?

pure virtual protected function?

virtual private function?

pure virtual private function?


Why do I care about non public [pure] virtual functions?
( First of all I have some code that uses them :- ).

1. Template method design pattern.

2. There are cases when protected methods provide some useful functionality=
 and
    I think it should be available for Python classes.

Thoughts, comments suggestions are welcome.

I don't have much experience with this yet. Most classes in the Maya SDK 
aren't meant to be derived from and I simply ignored all protected 
methods. There are a couple of classes the user may derive from but so 
far, I haven't had the case that I needed a non-public method.
I'll get back to you once the situation arises... ;)
