>From layers_id_colors_and_visibility.h:
/* NOTE: the idea here is to have LAYER_NUM and LAYER_MSK as abstract * type as possible (even if they're currently implemented as int and * unsigned int, respectively). In this way it would be reasonably easy * to overcome the current 32 layer limit. For example switching to a 64 * bit mask or even some kind of bit array */ /* Layer identification (layer number) */ typedef int LAYER_NUM; LAYER_NUM seems fully unnecessary. int can hold 4 billion layer numbers as it, so the comment is non-sensical. I don't particularly think LAYER_NUM was helpful, and I had expressed opposition to it when it was proposed 6 months or more ago. We don't need a special type for each usageof an integer. ================= LAYER_MSK is a different story. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
