[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1327?page=comments#action_57834 ] Robert Buck commented on XERCESC-1327: --------------------------------------
That you need release compatibility is fine, I agree with this (though I am puzzled to find that an upgrade from 2.1 to 2.6 did require changes to our code in order to compile at all). I would like this issue addressed in the next major release. And if developers would, please, stop submitting ALLCAPS identifiers for things other than preprocessor macros, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks > Change all enum values from ALLCAPS to MixedCase > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: XERCESC-1327 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1327 > Project: Xerces-C++ > Type: Bug > Components: Build > Versions: 2.6.0 > Environment: All > Reporter: Robert Buck > > The enum values in Xerces-C are in ALLCAPS, which violates general > programming practice, which reserves ALLCAPS identifiers for C preprocessor > macros. This is a huge problem for people integrating diverse 3rd-party > libraries and Xerces-C, as the enum values often collide with macro > expressions. The result is thousands of lines of nearly indecipherable errors > being emitted from compilers. > Please change all enum values to "MixedCase". If you happen to be aware of > any other ALLCAPS identifiers in Xerces-C, change those too. > This is very critical. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - If you want more information on JIRA, or have a bug to report see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
