[JASS] public memebers of a struct

[Silvenon]

I've been looking through some systems, for example xe, and I noticed that all the accessible members are public. Isn't that supposed to add the library name as the prefix? Then why am I able to access it by a simple structname.var syntax?

public / private is all about the scope of variables. A struct definition lies within the scope of a library, hence why a public struct needs to be accessed by using Library_struct. The members of a struct lie within the scope of a struct, hence why a public member doesn't have anything to do with libraries but has everything to do with the struct itself.

Besides, how would you see it work?

library B
struct A
    public integer i
endstruct
endlibrary

local A a = A.create()
set a.B_A_i = 0 // the fk?

The public keyword isn't even needed inside structs. All members are public by default.

Oh, ok, thanks, I got it now
