Re: [Quickfix-developers] Badly formed messages

[<OM...@th...>]

Unfortunately this is one of those situations where C++ lacks real type
safety.  I would recommend that you use the predefined constants whenever
possible.  If you include Values.h, you could write the line like this:

FIX::ExecTransType( FIX::ExecTransType_NEW );

On the one hand, it is more typing.  But the upshot is it is self
documenting and you will be sure you are using a valid value.

If I accidentally do
             FIX::ExecTransType(0)
rather than
             FIX::ExecTransType('0')

there is no complaint from the compiler or at run time.  The net result
seems to be that my message is corrupt when received.  The receiving
process
silently discards it because the calculated body length does not match the
stated length.

Is there some sensible way of avoiding this?
