Correct. But perhaps you are misusing the friend
concept. Are these
friend classes so closely related that they cannot use some public
interface?
as i said above, the interfaces are not public. they are intended to
be restricted just to the specified other classes. This probably isn't easy but I think that it may,
besides improving the
compile time, make the code more readable. Also, perhaps a better
seperation from the user interface code would be possible.
well, the editor is *only* about user interface. everything in
ardour/gtk is about user interface. there is no back-end there at all
- thats all part of libardour. the editor defines policy (which mouse
actions cause which operations), it defines how undo/redo is done, and
is controls drawing during and after operations. it doesn't contain
any implementation of any operation at all. so i think there is almost
total separation already.
remember: there is complete and enforced separation of UI and backend
in ardour. no part of the backend knows about any kind of UI at all. i
know its not unique in this sense, but it just bears repeating.
