Alternatively, you could create a union with a private and a public
member with the same types, but I wouldn't recommend it. Besides, the
members would need to have different names:
class Foo {
union {
private int a;
public int b;
}
}
Hm.. that doesn't provide readonly access to either a or b.
But it gave me an idea:
class Foo {
union {
private int _a;
public const int a;
}
void setA(int x) { _a = x; }
}
Hot damn! It works too :) Can't access _a from outside the module, can
access a, but can't write it (even from within Foo). It's like an
auto-inlined property function.
I don't know how it would affect the optimizer, or the GC scanner.
Unions are ugly things...
