Private/public header example?

You have two header files MyClass.h and MyClass_p.h and one source file: MyClass.cpp.

Lets take a look at what’s inside them:

MyClass_p.h:

// Header Guard Here
class MyClassPrivate
{
public:
    int a;
    bool b;
    //more data members;
}

MyClass.h:

// Header Guard Here
class MyClassPrivate;
class MyClass
{
public:
    MyClass();
    ~MyClass();
    void method1();
    int method2();
private:
    MyClassPrivate* mData;
}

MyClass.cpp:

#include "MyClass.h"
#include "MyClass_p.h"

MyClass::MyClass()
{
    mData = new MyClassPrivate();
}

MyClass::~MyClass()
{
    delete mData;
}

void MyClass::method1()
{
    //do stuff
}

int MyClass::method2()
{
    return stuff;
}

Keep your data in MyClassPrivate and distribute MyClass.h.
