The reason is to allow SSE code to get access to the data members. The accessors are there for backward compatibility for vertical code. It also allows you to write code in C style for something in between the accessors and SSE.

If you are nervous, use only the accessors.

Is there a reason why the data members in RayPacket are public? Some of them have accessor functions but not others. It doesn't really matter but it makes me nervous...
