PI75710: PUBLIC KEYWORD SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED WHEN GENERATING CLASS AS STRUCT

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you have a class, and select "Generate Class as struct", the
  class generates with the "public" keyword included. The keyword
  is included before attributes and other objects.
  
  However, when a class is generated as a C struct, everything in
  the class is public. So, there is no need for the "public"
  keyword to be included.
  
  The keyword should be suppressed, or the user should have an
  option to get rid of it easily.

Problem conclusion

• Problem fixed by adding new property
  "CPP_CG::Class::GenDefaultVisibility" that can prevent the
  generation of redundant  keyword {public|private} at the atart
  of {classs|struct}
  the default is the old behavior (generate redundant keyword)
