New GoF design pattern

CONSTIPATED ENCAPSULATION

#include <iostream>

class Anus
{
public:
Anus(int n=123):hax(&num) { num=n; }
void setNum(int n) { num=n; }
const int *const hax;
private:
int num;
} anus;

int main()
{
std::cout << *anus.hax << "\n";

anus.setNum(42);
std::cout << *anus.hax << "\n";

return 0;
}


That is just retarded. Why not just make num be public? Then no need for stupid setter and the code would be more clean. If you later need to add setter (actually needed in 0.001% of use cases), just refactor all the code using Anus, it's not that a big deal.
