Redefinition and Enumerator

Question

I\'m having a problem with enumerators. Let\'s not waste anyone\'s time, and get straight to it. The error:

1> forgelib\\include\\forge\\socket.h(79): err         


        

Answer 1

You cannot have equal names in old c-style enums. If you have C++11 - you can use enum class, static constants in classes, different namespaces, or you can simply use different names.

Example with enum classes

enum class SocketType
{
   RAW = SOCK_RAW
};

enum class ProtocolType
{
   RAW = IP_PROTO_RAW
};

example with constants

struct SocketType
{
   static const int RAW = SOCK_RAW;
};

struct ProtocolType
{
   static const int RAW = IP_PROTO_ROW;
};
