摘自c++ FAQ Lite:

The members and base classes of a struct are public by default, while in class, they default to private. Note: you should make your base classes explicitly public, private, or protected, rather than relying on the defaults. struct and class are otherwise functionally equivalent. OK, enough of that squeaky clean techno talk. Emotionally, most developers make a strong distinction between a class and a struct. A struct simply feels like an open pile of bits with very little in the way of encapsulation or functionality. A class feels like a living and responsible member of society with intelligent services, a strong encapsulation barrier, and a well defined interface. Since that's the connotation most people already have, you should probably use the struct keyword if you have a class that has very few methods and has public data (such things do exist in well designed systems!), but otherwise you should probably use the class keyword.

我只在需要保存一些没有任何成员函数与之关联的数据(对成员数据进行操作)并直接访问数据变量时使用struct。

从文件和套接字流等读取/写入数据。在函数参数太多且函数语法看起来太冗长的结构中传递函数参数。

从技术上讲，类和结构之间没有太大的区别，除了默认的可访问性。 更重要的是，它取决于你如何使用它的编程风格。

在用我的主要语言c++编程多年之后，我得出了一个死结论，那就是这是c++的另一个愚蠢的特性。

两者之间没有真正的区别，我也没有理由花额外的时间来决定是应该将实体定义为结构体还是类。

要回答这个问题，请随时将实体定义为结构。默认情况下，成员将是公开的，这是规范。但更重要的是，默认情况下继承将是公开的。受保护继承和更糟糕的私有继承是例外。

我从来没有遇到过私人继承是正确做法的案例。是的，我试图发明问题来使用私有继承，但它不起作用。如果不使用访问器关键字，面向对象编程的角色模型Java默认为公共继承。顺便提一下，Java不允许在继承类上访问关键字，它们只能被公开继承。所以你可以看到，cpp团队在这里真的很失败。

另一件令人沮丧的事情是，如果你定义为类，声明为结构，你会得到编译警告。就好像这是影响程序性能或准确性的东西一样。一个回答还指出，MSVC可能会产生编译器错误。

Those persons that use classes when it is raining and structs when it is shining are doing so based on what they have been taught. It's not something they discovered to be true. Java does not have a pair of names for classes, and only have the class keyword. If you want a data structure, simply make all your members public and don't add functions. This works in Java and I don't see any problem. What's the problem? You need 4 or 5 characters of BOM code to determine how to interpret the context of a class entity.

我从来不在c++中使用struct。

我无法想象在需要私有成员时使用结构体的场景，除非您故意试图混淆。

使用结构体似乎更像是一种如何使用数据的语法指示，但我宁愿只创建一个类，并尝试在类的名称中显式地表示它，或通过注释。

E.g.

class PublicInputData {
    //data members
 };

c++中类和结构的区别是:

结构成员和基类/结构在默认情况下是公共的。 默认情况下，类成员和基类/结构是私有的。

类和结构都可以混合使用public、protected和private成员，可以使用继承，也可以有成员函数。

我向你推荐:

对于没有任何类样特性的普通旧数据结构使用struct; 在使用私有或受保护成员、非默认构造函数和操作符等特性时使用类。
