Hi all,
The following item is in the todo.txt file for implementing private
methods in a class:
- Private methods?
either: private def Func()
or: def _Func()
Perhaps use "private" keyword instead of "_" prefix?
Function and method names always start with an uppercase letter. So
if we use the
"_" prefix for a private method name then it will diverge from
that. So I have
implemented this using the "private" keyword.
Any opinions?
Thanks very much for keeping the ball rolling on this.
For others, there was some previous discussion[1] about it on the list
when Bram asked for opinions. My recollection is that both you and he
were in favour of the "_" prefix for call-site identification purposes?
My personal preference would be for the modifier keyword with a
symmetric, even if possibly redundant, "public".
Is it only redundant, or is there some semantic meaning or change?
Referring only to functions?
About that "_". Looking through that old thread, and thinking about the
code I've got. It is convenient to look at a member name and immediately
know it's private. Allowing "private" doesn't seem that important; I
don't particularly buy into the "only have one way to do it" but private
member seems low priority to me.

I think this is justifiable on the grounds of it meeting the "less
weird" requirement for Vim9 script. While I'm sure there are others,
JavaScript is the only language I can think of off the top of my head
that defaults to public and uses a sigil for private access.
Thanks again,
Doug
