Re: [dev] Object-Oriented C for interface safety?

2014-11-26 Thread Greg Reagle
If you want to program in C, there are ways to implement abstract data types, encapsulation, and implementation hiding that are fairly easy. Basically this involves using the "static" keyword for functions and variables that you want to be private to the implementation and don't put their prototyp
