Abstract
A few months ago, I was writing some code, and I came up with a situation where one of the fields in a class (Filename) could be derived from another (Name). I therefore decided to use the property idiom (or design pattern) in C++, and wrote a get Filename() function for the field that was derived from the other. I then had to walk through all the code and replace the reference to the field with calls to getFilename(). This took a while, since the project was fairly big.
