| Mar 26, 2019 at 7:40 | comment | added | Tuntable | Nice answer. But it does beg the question as to why after all these years C++ still cannot do this. Particularly for bools. foo(happy:=true, fast:=false) is much easier to follow than foo(true, false). (Using Visual Basic notation here!). | |
| Aug 16, 2018 at 4:57 | comment | added | jwenting | another problem that comes to mind is that the code is a lot harder to read and comprehend for experienced C++ programmers than normal code. I've worked on a program where someone had thought it a good idea to do something like #define PROCEDURE void #define BEGIN { #define END } etc. etc. because he wanted to make C look like Pascal. Say again? | |

@sjm324, thanks. Because struct foo is a throw-away object just to mimic the original Python function syntax; passing name-values in one line at the call site. They could be public but that just wasn't the point here.

Great answer! Out of curiosity, for approach 2, why are the internal variables private? Making them public means they can either call the function or set the variable directly.
