You probably expect private
to limit the use of the class definition, but that is not what it does.
The definition of private
is to "restrict the use of an entity to its own defining source file."
From the book Swift Access Control .
EDIT:
As with Swift 3 fileprivate
does fileprivate
make private
and private
more restrictive in the sense that it "limits the use of the object to the conclusion"
source share
