== Why is this an issue?

By implementing class interfaces with member functions, the implementation retains more control over how the object state can be modified, and helps to allow a class to be maintained without affecting clients.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,cpp]
----
class C
{
public:
  int32_t b; // Noncompliant
protected:
  int32_t c; // Noncompliant
private:
  int32_t d; // Compliant
};
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,cpp]
----
class C
{
public:
  int32_t getB() { return _b; }
  void setB(int32_t b) { _b = b; }
protected:
  int32_t getC() { return _c; }
  void setC(int32_t c) { _c = c; }
private:
  int32_t _b; // Compliant
  int32_t _c; // Compliant
  int32_t _d; // Compliant
};
