Check the suggestion about auto generation of ordinal values. If auto generation works across translation units, use it instead of assigning values. If auto generation does not work, consider the reserved range ordinals. This has to be addressed before submission because any later decision to change the range of reserved ordinals is a potentially breaking change for users (and probably a very hard one to debug). Remember that it is better to reserve 3 times too many ordinals than even 1 too few.
This might be a crackpot idea, but how about reserving negative ordinals for the library, and nonnegative ones for the user? Regards, Michael
