There are no side-effects.
The only effect is that the structure is within the scope of the class, that is, if you want to use the scope from outside the class it has to be declared as
Publicand you nee to qualify the name explicitly asOuterClassName.InnerStructureNamewhen using it.Notably (and unlike in Java), the structure is not related to any instance of the class it’s contained in. So it cannot just access its surrounding class’s instance members.
