C Superior Encapsulation

A demonstration of how the C programming language can have better encapsulation than other languages if used correctly.

Assumptions

1. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Getting Started

sudo apt install \
  build-essential \
  clang \
  gcc \
  valgrind

make clear
make

./encapsulation
valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes ./encapsulation

Limitations

1. The data may have to be allocated dynamically because the required space may not be possible to calculate otherwise.
2. It may be possible to only hide all fields.
