I've been browsing the dolphin source code recently and found this in timer.h (and mods, before you ban me, I have read the rules of the other forum and deleted the other post... sorry 
):
Is there any reason why the data members are under a seperate "public:" declaration? Why not simply have the data members (I mean the last 4 variables if I'm using the term incorrectly) under the other "public:"? Forgive me if this has been answered before, I tried searching the forum but I couldn't find anything relating to this, and sorry if I'm wasting your time with such a foolish questions, I'm just studying computer science at a local community college and quite frankly I find Dolphin fascinating and often look through the code (even though I don't understand too much of it yet).
):Code:
class Timer
{
public:
Timer();
void Start();
void Stop();
void Update();
// The time difference is always returned in milliseconds, regardless of alternative internal representation
u64 GetTimeDifference();
void AddTimeDifference();
void WindBackStartingTime(u64 WindBack);
static void IncreaseResolution();
static void RestoreResolution();
static u64 GetTimeSinceJan1970();
static u64 GetLocalTimeSinceJan1970();
static double GetDoubleTime();
static std::string GetTimeFormatted();
std::string GetTimeElapsedFormatted() const;
u64 GetTimeElapsed();
public:
u64 m_LastTime;
u64 m_StartTime;
u64 m_frequency;
bool m_Running;
