I'm trying to provide a by-reference getter to a list of objects in a class. My setup looks something roughly like this:class c_Container{public:    c_Item* Get(int uid);private:    c_Item itemList[10];}class c_Item{public:    int uid;}c_Item* c_Container::Get(int uid){    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)    {        if (itemList[i].uid == uid)        {            return &itemList[i];        }    }    return NULL;}This is a simplistic example showing usage, usually a c_Item object would have other methods that would do other things. We'd want to obtain the c_Item object from itemList by reference or by address so that we can directly modify it.When compiling, I get a lint error something like Exposing low access member 'itemList'. If I try to return by reference instead of returning a pointer, I get the same thing. I guess I understand why, but I can't conceive of a better way to obtain an object from a container class like this by reference. I can fix the error by making itemList public, but that seems like unnecessary access.Outside of creating wrapper methods in c_Container for all of c_Item's methods (which seems redundant), is there a better way to handle a situation like this?
Is there a proper way to allow access to private list by reference?
