On closer inspection I don't think I want to change these names. Like you pointed out there's already a Fault typedef so renaming ArmFault Fault would cause a lot of confusion. A similar but easier to tolerate problem is that renaming the ArmFaultVals template class would making it collide with the structure defined in ArmFault. It should be clear to the compiler what's going on, I think, but it'd be very confusing for a person to keep track of which FaultVals you're talking about, especially when crtp is involved. We could potentially rename the Fault typedef like you seem to be suggesting, but we'd have to change quite a bit of code. I'm not convinced it would be worth it since it's not clear what other name would be much better. - Gabe ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
