[jira] Resolved: (XERCESC-1212) Xerces-C Conflicts with fdlibm: enum names too common
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1212?page=all ]
cargilld resolved XERCESC-1212:
-------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Hi,
The UNKNOWN enum in PSVIDefs has been removed, as well as the related deprecated code in the 3.0 branch of svn.
The coding conventions have also been updated.

> Key: XERCESC-1212
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1212
> Project: Xerces-C++
> Type: Bug
> Components: Build
> Versions: 2.5.0
> Environment: ALL
> Reporter: Robert Buck
>
> For those developers that use the freely distributable math library, or fdlibm, a conflict exists between the definition of UNKNOWN. Specifically, if you include fdlibm headers prior to xerces-c headers, xerces-c user applications will not compile.
> Choosing common names such as UNKNOWN is not helpful to those of us that link in many third-party libraries, since the likelihood that a conflict will exist with such a name is greatly increased. Please prefix the names with something that distinguishes the enum value as being from Xerces-C. In the very least, set it as a standard practice in future enum types to use more conspicuous names. It would be nice if you changed these before these names get entrenched in C++ user code.
> I do have a work-around, but it's rather ugly. I just raise this to your attention, mostly to suggest the adoption of such a coding practice.
> Thanks
