--------------------------------
Summary: Add AVRO_INVALID to avro_type_t
Key: AVRO-3961
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3961
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: c
Reporter: Sahil Kang
There are preexisting warnings in
[schema.c|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/9c7e14d89f80f7bea9c4d67d3ae98b86b5cff166/lang/c/src/schema.c#L879-L886]
and
[datum_value.c|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/9c7e14d89f80f7bea9c4d67d3ae98b86b5cff166/lang/c/src/datum_value.c#L83-L94]
stemming from the fact that
[avro_type_t|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/9c7e14d89f80f7bea9c4d67d3ae98b86b5cff166/lang/c/src/avro/basics.h#L28-L44]
does not have a default/invalid state
However, since the public interface already exposes [EINVAL as an
avro_type_t|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/9c7e14d89f80f7bea9c4d67d3ae98b86b5cff166/lang/c/src/datum_value.c#L95],
we can add an {{AVRO_INVALID = EINVAL}} branch to {{avro_type_t}} while
maintaining ABI compatibility
