using protected members of classes in C files

3 New Member
I am trying to provide interface between C and C++ files.
I am providing wrapper classes. Some classes contain protected members.
Please suggest me how to use or ignore these protected members of the core classes in wrapper classes.
I used "typedef struct" for the classes which had only public members. But now I m facing problem with classes having protected members also.

I'm not entirely sure what the question is but you can conditionally compile different parts of your code by using #if, and #ifdef

You appreciate of course that not all C++ code can be represented with C code?

I have to make wrapper classes(actuall y functions) for the classes which have protected members also. I know its not possible to represent everything in C, but is there anyway that I can ignore the protected members of the class when I treat the class as "struct" in C files?

Hello Experts! Assume I have a class called SphereClass as the base class and a class called BallClass that is derived from the SphereClass. The copy constructor initialize the left hand object in this case object b2 below. It also initialize subobject from class SphereClass. The BallClass copy constructor looks like this.

AFAIK there are two ways to expose members of a base class to a derived or child class: 1. declare the members public in the base class 2. declare them as 'protected' in the base class Is either of these methods generally recommended over the other? If yes, why? Thanks!

Hi, finally giving php 5 a go, and going over the new approach to classes. Can someone clarify the public, private and protected to me? I quote the php manual: "The visibility of a property or method can be defined by prefixing the declaration with the keywords: public, protected or private. Public declared items can be accessed everywhere."

Before going to that i want to say few thing on serialization : Serialization is the process of converting an object into a form that can be readily transported. For example, you can serialize an object and transport it over the Internet using HTTP between a client and a server. On the other end, deserialization reconstructs the object from the stream. XML serialization serializes only the public fields and property values of an object...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
