Paul King updated GROOVY-7136: ------------------------------ Fix Version/s: 5.x > 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 > Affects Versions: 2.3.7, 2.4.0-beta-3 > Reporter: Jochen Theodorou > Priority: Major > Labels: trait, traits > Fix For: 5.x > > > Till now, if we have a private field foo in a Trait T, the class implementing > the trait can unofficially access the field by this.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 a private field a in the trait T from > the trait implementing class. This provide then 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). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
