--------------------------------
Affects Version/s: (was: 2.3.7)
(was: 2.4.0-beta-3)
> allow trait implementing class access to private trait field
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-7136
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7136
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler
> Reporter: Jochen Theodorou
> Priority: Major
> Labels: traits
>
> Until now, if we have a private field {{a}} in trait {{T}}, the class
> implementing the trait can unofficially access the field by {{T__a}}. This
> leaks the naming convention we use, and thus prevents us from changing it
> some time in the future.
> I suggest to use {{T.this.a}} to access the private field from the trait
> implementing class. This provides an official way and allows for neat things
> as immutable traits for example (even if the state is fixed, we still may
> want one there and the handling of it).
