Encapsulation question about vJass.

[Flux]

Scenario: I have a library that has structs in it but I want to use that struct in a global block and be private (limited to the library) at the same time, example:

library A
    globals
        B something
    endglobals
  
    private struct B
    endstruct
  
endlibrary

^The does not compile because it shouldn't be private struct.
Is it possible? I assume Vexorian made it possible.

I tried a few things myself, none worked.
This was one thing I tried but it did not work, sadly.

library A
    private struct B
		public static B something
    endstruct
endlibrary

library X
	function onInit takes nothing returns nothing
		set something = 1
	endfunction
endlibrary

The only thing I can come up with would be to do it the other way around. Basically making the struct public, but making every method/variable private.

The term is often referred to as "internal", rather than "private", in other programming languages.

library Encapsulation

globals
    private keyword StructType
endglobals

struct StructType //is internal to this library, not public and not private
endstruct

endlibrary

You can drag the globals block below the struct declaration/definition.

@Bribe, thanks that did the trick.

@WaterKnight, it doesn't work because I used 'B something' within struct B. Throws errors something like "does not allow .syntax"

+rep to all for helping!
EDIT: Must spread first to give rep to Chaosy
