"Rust for C++ programmers" says "Struct fields are private by default"

Is that correct?

This sentence is right at the start of paragraph "Visibility".

Yes, they are private by default. (This was a change made ... semi-recently.)

What is leading you to think that they are not?

For further discussion, see the following tickets and RFC: #8122 , rust-lang/rfcs#1 , RFC 0004

(I will probably close this issue unless someone identifies an actual bug in the language or the documentation.)

But the manual says:
"By default, everything in rust is private, with two exceptions. The first exception is that struct fields are public by default"

Looks like my mistake. I thought from 0.10 compiler and manual that struct fields are public. And i did not realize that "Rust for C++ programmers" is newer than 0.10. But I see now that in the nigthly version of the manual struct fields are already "private".
Sorry.
