  • public: member_variable, e.g. parent, user_data
  • private/protected: m_typeMemberVariable, e.g, m_pWindow
• method/function:
  • public: ClassMethod(), e.g. GetWindow(), Update()
  • private/protected: class_method(), e.g. refresh_this()
  • except: match STL-Style method: begin(), end(), insert(), but public
• enum: see it

        enum class PointType : uint16_t {
            Type_None,      // None
