How does the number of enumerators matter?
With my method, when you stick an enumerator into the middle, you only have to adjust the definitions of the adjacent enumerators. With your method, it looks to me like you have to renumber all the enumerators which follow the insertion point.
I see your point. However, it is a simple matter to scan down the sequence of values in my version to ensure that things are sequential, whereas one must check left-right, left-right, down your list to ensure each is tied to the correct one to produce sequential values. Each has its virtues, so one's choice must depend upon which set of virtues is deemed most valuable. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
