Internal keyword and C++ target

[polidobj]

Hi

I having trouble with my library design because things that use the internal keyword are marked public in the C++ output. Things marked internal are not meant to be part of the public API. It seems in the C++ world this would be the place to use the friend feature. Which I guess adding the needed friend code could be done by using C++ only native blocks. But that would only work if the things marked internal would be made private in the C++ output.

Good point! Do you think fut should instead emit private methods and friend class X for classes that use the internal members? Friend functions would be probably too verbose.

It depends on how well emitting the friend field is done automatically by fut. I had lower expectations of filling out the friends myself. So being done automatically would be a bonus. But I do think just doing classes is likely enough since, so far, everything in fut needs to be inside of a class.

d3fd583 changes the C++ output for internal members: it emits them as private and lists the classes using them as friend.
