Why are private methods in C++ at all, they also are used only from class methods and can be replaced with static util functions getting required class members as arguments.


For reference, this is not about access or class size, but bloat in the header for functionality that is internal to the cpp file. This is a common pattern in LLVM and developers know what to expect.

It's a pattern which conveys the idea that the functionality is orthogonal to the class' intention (which this is, just error reporting) and so not really belongs to the class itself.

Furthermore, the method already has a lot of arguments, this would only be adding one new one, so not a great difference.
