Visibility
Basic Storm allows specifying the visibility of declarations at the global level and inside types. The syntax used is a hybrid between C++ and Java. It is possible to specify visibility for individual declarations by including the visibility first, like so:
public Int foo() { 3; }
It is also possible to declare the visibility for a group of functions like in C++:
public:
Int foo() { 3; }
Int bar() { 4; }
If no visibility is specified at all, Storm defaults to public.
Basic Storm supports the following types of visibility for declarations outside of types:
publicvisible from everywhere in the system.packagevisible from the current package and any sub-packages.privatevisible only from the current file.
The following types of visibility can be used inside types (both classes and values):
publicvisible from everywhere in the system.protectedvisible from the current class and sub-classes.packagevisible from the current package and any sub-packages.privatevisible only from the current type.
