<br />
One reason is that the type and structure of framework-internal data may (in fact WILL) change over time, as the framework is developed further. But if the user access framework-internal data directly, these changes causes the user code be broken.<br />
An other reason might be, that the library uses some special representation, that users could corrupt, if they can access (for example a charstring storing encrypted information, or a record of integer representing a tree data structure).<br />
<br />
The solution of the problem is to introduce visibily within components for component definitions as well, and functions written inside the components to manipulate such members:<br />
In component member definitions they mean the following:<br />
• The public modifier means that any function/testcase/altstep running on that component instance can access the member definition directly.<br />
• The private modifier means that only those functions can access the definition which are directly written &quot;into the body&quot; of the component. Functions running on a component type extending the one containing the definition, will not be able to see them.<br />
• functions written into the &quot;body&quot; of the component can also be public or private. Public functions can be called from functions/altstep/testcases running on the component, or on a component extending their component. Private functions can only be called from functions written inside the &quot;body&quot; of the same component.<br />
• the frend modifier is not available inside components.<br />
<br />
This feature can also be seen as a Object-Oriented extension of current components.</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Steps To Reproduce</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Additional Information</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Tags</td><td class="print" colspan="5">No tags attached.</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Relationships</td><td class="print" colspan="5"><table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tr><td class="print"><span class="nowrap">related to</span>&#160;</td><td class="print">0006801</td><td class="print">closed&#160;</td><td class="print"><span class="nowrap"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=361">KristÃ³f Szabados</a></span>&#160;</td><td class="print">Visibility of component definitions&#160;</td></tr><tr><td class="print"><span class="nowrap">related to</span>&#160;</td><td class="print">0007679</td><td class="print">closed&#160;</td><td class="print"><span class="nowrap"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=82">Jens Grabowski</a></span>&#160;</td><td class="print">Class Concept to be added&#160;</td></tr></table></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Attached Files</td><td class="print" colspan="5"><img src="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/images/fileicons/doc.gif" alt="docx" />&#160;CR7693.docx (318,212) <span class="italic">28-07-2017 13:18</span><br />http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/file_download.php?file_id=3671&amp;type=bug</td></tr><tr><td class="print-spacer" colspan="6"><hr size="1" /></td></tr><tr><td class="form-title">Issue History</td></tr><tr class="print-category"><td class="row-category-history">Date Modified</td><td class="row-category-history">Username</td><td class="row-category-history">Field</td><td class="row-category-history">Change</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">16-07-2017 13:10</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=361">KristÃ³f Szabados</a></td><td class="print">New Issue</td><td class="print"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">16-07-2017 13:10</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=361">KristÃ³f Szabados</a></td><td class="print">Relationship added</td><td class="print">related to 0006801</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">24-07-2017 14:12</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=82">Jens Grabowski</a></td><td class="print">Assigned To</td><td class="print"> =&gt;
