Definition of type axis2_bool_t based on an enumeration -------------------------------------------------------Key: AXIS2C-740 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-740 Project: Axis2-C Issue Type: Improvement Components: util Environment: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Reporter: Senaka Fernando Boolean types have only two states. As C does not have such a type, an alternate mechanism has been used as, typedef int axis2_bool_t; Now, legally axis2_bool_t types can have any integer value. I propose that it should only be limited to two values. Thus it should be defined as typedef enum {AXIS2_FALSE, AXIS2_TRUE} axis2_bool_t; in C, types defined in such a manner do accept any integer value. But, when compiled using a C++ compiler, it would flag an error which should be the desired behavior. Ex:- in C++, axis2_bool_t myVar = 100; would result in, error: invalid conversion from 'int' to 'axis2_bool_t'
In g++ complier this compiles fine with -Wall -Werror and -ansi options Damitha. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
