Fwd: Re: Lifting operations from inline classes to reference projections

[Brian Goetz]

This was received in the -comments bag.

Translation will be the subject of an upcoming writeup, so stay tuned 
for that.

You could be asking one of several different questions.  If you have an 
inaccessible inline class, then by default, the reference projection is 
also inaccessible.

If you want to expose a public interface but private implementation 
(this is what the migrated Optional would want), then you can do that; 
you declare a public reference projection and a private implementation, 
and you put your factories _on the interface_.

Hi Brian et al,

Could you please show how following package-private inline class would be
translated?

inline class Point {
public Point(int x, int z) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
public Point sum(Point that) {
return new Point(this.x+that.x,this.y+that.y);
}

private final int x, y;
}

I am wondering how the client of public reference projection would get an
instance of the private implementation inline class.

Thanks,
Mateusz Romanowski
