Is there a technical word commonly used by programmers to speak about variables and members of C++ classes that are only here for internal purpose (like some protected static const) and should not be used by the final user ?
Perhaps the word you’re searching for is encapsulation, which is one of the four buzz words they teach you about object-oriented programming in college (the other three being inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction).
