[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1327) Change all enum values from ALLCAPS to MixedCase

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1327?page=comments#action_60970 ]
     
Alberto Massari commented on XERCESC-1327:
------------------------------------------

Just adding another enum giving troubles: S_NORMAL is defined in the Win32 headers (WinBase.h) and conflicts with RegxParser::S_NORMAL (util\regx\RegxParser.hpp)

> The enum values in Xerces-C are in ALLCAPS, which violates general programming practice, which reserves ALLCAPS identifiers for C preprocessor macros. This is a huge problem for people integrating diverse 3rd-party libraries and Xerces-C, as the enum values often collide with macro expressions. The result is thousands of lines of nearly indecipherable errors being emitted from compilers.
> Please change all enum values to "MixedCase". If you happen to be aware of any other ALLCAPS identifiers in Xerces-C, change those too.
> This is very critical.
