And we don't want to do that, at least not without years of backwards compatibility, because there's probably a lot of non-library code relying on fe_type.order too. > I'm not sure I see a good way to do this while retaining backwards > compatibility. With an accessor class? Create an OrderShim class that stores an int internally, gets queried by the FEType class to return that int, but has an operator Order to implictly convert that int to an Order. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
