Is the C++ public keyword exactly equivalent to internal keyword in C#?
As far as I understand, public in C++ means “can be used everywhere within the compilation unit”.
No, it’s not exactly equivalent. For starters, a C++ “compilation unit” isn’t equivalent to a .NET assembly.
Next, in C++ there is an additional concept, “linkage”, which determines whether a type can be used outside the compilation unit. Whether the same header file is included in other compilation units also affects visibility.
