Also, if you declare your getter and setter functions as being inline, then there is no loss of speed. Done that way

var_x = MyClass.x; 

takes the same amount of times as

var_x = MyClass.Get_X();

well, its a fact that each time you have to call a function, it takes a little time. so retreiving a var using a get-function is in fact a little slower than getting it right away.

Most getter/setter functions can be inlined, and thus have no overhead.

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Very true, forgot to mention that.

For those who dont know, this is what he means:

class something
{
private:

int x, y;

public:

int getX( void ) { return x; } // inline function.
etc...
};

I guess someone has to post this, and it can just as well be me: http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=7998/cujcexp1902hyslop/
