Ahum, I am talking about passing combinations of enums values
(usually bitmasks, assigned enums, some assigned enums
are already combinations of other) to C or C++.
Sets are not binary compatible for that.
They should be.
No, sets are an opaque data type. Their internal format is undefined.
I knew you would answer to that :) While, I disagree that a set is opaque,
but, we can skip that discussion. What's going on here is that, wether it
is a good idea or not, the implementor of the QT interface units is trying
to provide Pascal data types to its user. Given the fact you are doing
that, a set of enum is IMO as reasonable as other weak type to strong type
mappings.
