The idea was just to mark up the fields which are supposed to be private to the implementation, so everybody can use the same header, but outsiders get a warning/error if they try to touch things they shouldn't. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-05/msg01846.html I should probably get back to that at some point -- Paolo had an interesting suggestion involving some cpp macros which I never got round to investigating. thanks -- PMM
