How is that useless? Any non-trivial OOP code
(http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qabstractitemview.html#protected-functions)
swarm with protected methods, and rightfully so. How would one
restrict
access to members that are not part of public interface but
should be
accessible to the derived classes?
I don't think it is possible. protected methods are part of the
public interface, since inheritance cannot be restricted
selectively.
I don't quite understand. Could you explain?
