<div class="doc_text">
<p>In C++ the <tt>class</tt> and <tt>struct</tt> keywoards can be used almost
interchangeably. The only difference is when they are used to declare a class:
<tt>class</tt> makes all members private by default while <tt>struct</tt>
makes all members public by defaut.<p>
<p>Unfortunately, not all compilers follow the rules and some will generate
different symbols based on whether <tt>class</tt> or <tt>struct</tt> was used
to declare the symbol. This can lead to problems at link time.</p>
<p>So, the rule for LLVM is this: "always use the <tt>class</tt> keyword,
unless <b>all</b> members are public in which case <tt>struct</tt> is
allowed.</p>
