I'm slowly coming to the view that we should juust add "_LAST" to every single one of our public enums.
But perhaps have them disabled by default, unless the app developer does
#define LIBVIRT_ENUM_SENTINALS
before including libvirt.h, so they make a concious decision to use a enum value known to change.
Sounds like an interesting idea, but I'll save it for a followup.
Sure, no problem.
Would it be acceptable to protect existing _LAST values when adding all the new ones, or must we keep those unconditionally defined to avoid breaking compilation of anyone that was using them?
I think we could get away with protecting existing ones too, since apps can easily just add the #define, even when building with older libvirt and it'll be harmless Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
