Talk:Break OO privacy: Difference between revisions

While generally agreed that this is bad form, the discussions above identified things like debuggers and diagnostic tools as possibly valid uses. Also, it seems to me that these techniques could be used in combination with 'monkey patching' (see [[Add_a_variable_to_a_class_instance_at_runtimeAdd a variable to a class instance at runtime]]) and other similar kinds of activities. Okay, this gets a bit out on the edge of valid but still. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 16:51, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
