►Lesson Description: In this lesson I talk about an important idiom that allows us to hide our implementation details in our classes. The pointer to implementation (pIMPL) idiom stores private data members and member functions in a class, while also limiting the pIMPL class's scope. This can be a way to create a more stable ABI for your applications, and even save compile times. The cost may be an additional level of indirection, and managing code in a .cpp file. In general, I would urge folks who have long lived codebases to consider this idiom.
