--- Comment #7 from Markus Elfring <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Philip Hazel from comment #6) > Old habits die hard! How much does the use of enumerations belong to good development practices when they are directly supported also by the C programming language for a while? > It is indeed too late I hope that more occasions will appear to improve the corresponding software situation a bit more. > Without changing pcre2_config() etc. there is no point in changing > the #defines to an enum. I have got an other view about this implementation detail. Does anybody insist to use the affected symbols still as preprocessor macros? > I am going to close this issue "wontfix", Would an other tag be more appropriate? > but I have noted the issue on the long-term wish-list so that it > won't be entirely forgotten if there ever is another API/ABI break. I am curious on how this application programming interface will evolve further. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
