private-members

I have an object that is being thrown into the session array, and I want to run a foreach on the items property. I can't seem to access it. I see that it's private, but I can't help but wonder why var_dump can show me what the property contains yet I can't read the data as it throws a fatal error? I suppose I could do some output buffering and evaluate var_dump as a string if I really have to like this but it seems like there should be a better method. Any ideas how I can access _items? The object code var_dumped from var_dump($_SESSION['PHPurchaseCart']) : object(PHPurchaseCart)#191 (4) { ["

I'm writing a "weak event factory" - code which converts any Delegate into a new delegate with an identical signature, but with implementing a WeakReference on the target. I'm using MSIL to avoid calls to Delegate.CreateDelegate (which performance have shown to be slow). The weak reference delegates work perfectly as long as the underlying method (the Method of the original delegate), was declared public. As soon as a private or anonymous method is used, the MSIL bombs at run time with a MethodAccessException . Using compiled expression trees, I've been able to invoke private methods, so it

Private methods documentation can only be seen by who has access to the source code. Is it worth the effort spent on it? Personally, I feel that it is. Documentation is often the most useful to future developers maintaining your software - especially member documentation. Even public API documentation is only of limited use to any audience other than a developer. Document for those following - they will thank you. It definitely is. In anything but trivial software, you can make it faster to comprehend the code with the proper use of comments, even for the original author a few months later.

In JavaScript (ES5+), I'm trying to achieve the following scenario: An object (of which there will be many separate instances) each with a read-only property .size that can be read from the outside via direct property read, but cannot be set from the outside. The .size property must be maintained/updated from some methods which are on the prototype (and should stay on the prototype). My API is already defined by a specification so I can't modify that (I'm working on a polyfill for an already-defined ES6 object). I'm mostly trying to prevent people from shooting themselves in the foot

Hey Im getting an error I think has to do with copying ofstream variable from reading other posts and Ive tried to change std::ofstream outfil; to std::ofstream & outfil; but I get error reference value "outfil" requires an initializer the code is: #include <algorithm> #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <sstream> #include <string> #include <vector> #include <cstdlib> std::vector<double> GetValues_n(const std::vector<std::string>& src, int start, int end) { std::vector<double> ret; for(int i = start; i <= end; ++i) { ret.push_back(std::strtod(src[i].c_str(),
