Good style for public enum type in class with enum type in public and private function prototypes












-1














I'm writing code that uses a public enumerated type as input to private and public functions. I have to declare the enum type before I use it in any function prototype so I can't place it with the rest of the public declarations. I also need to keep the public declarations after the private ones to conform with a style guide.



I am wondering if there is a way to only have one public declaration section instead of two, or if there is a better way of organizing the header file.





Here is my code:



main.cpp



#include "A.h"

int main() {
const int WIDTH = 3;
const int HEIGHT = 4;
const int MAX_HEIGHT = 6;

A a = A(MAX_HEIGHT, WIDTH, HEIGHT);

for (int i = 0; i < HEIGHT; ++i) {
a.SetValue(0, i, A::VALUE_2);
a.SetValue(WIDTH - 1, i, A::VALUE_2);
}
for (int j = 0; j < WIDTH; ++j) {
a.SetValue(j, 0, A::VALUE_3);
a.SetValue(j, WIDTH - 1, A::VALUE_3);
}

for (int i = 0; i < HEIGHT - 2; ++i) {
for (int j = 0; j < WIDTH - 2; ++j) {
a.SetIntegers(j, i, i, j , i + j);
}
}

return 0;
}


A.h



#include <vector>

using namespace std;

class A {
public:
enum Enumeration {VALUE_1, VALUE_2, VALUE_3};

private:
struct Container {
int i;
int j;
int k;
};

int maxValue;
vector<vector<Container>> data;

Container CreateContainer(Enumeration enumValue) const;

public:
A(int maxValue, int xDimension, int yDimension) : maxValue(maxValue),
data(vector<vector<Container>>(yDimension, vector<Container>(xDimension, CreateContainer(VALUE_1)))) {}
~A() {data.clear();}

void SetValue(int x, int y, Enumeration enumValue);
void SetIntegers(int x, int y, int i, int j, int k);
};


A.cpp



#include "A.h"

A::Container A::CreateContainer(Enumeration enumValue) const {
Container container;
switch (enumValue) {
case VALUE_1:
container.i = 0;
container.j = maxValue;
container.k = maxValue;
case VALUE_2:
container.i = maxValue;
container.j = 0;
container.k = maxValue;
case VALUE_3:
container.i = maxValue;
container.j = maxValue;
container.k = 0;
};
return container;
}


void A::SetValue(int x, int y, Enumeration enumValue) {
data.at(y).at(x) = CreateContainer(enumValue);
return;
}


void A::SetIntegers(int x, int y, int i, int j, int k) {
data.at(y).at(x).i = i;
data.at(y).at(x).j = j;
data.at(y).at(x).k = k;
return;
}
