[Scribia-dev] enums

[Ben H. <bh...@al...>]

Unless i am forgetting something basic (very possible, i do this for fun :),

enum exileKeys {
	cBoost = "Boosts",
	cSeeks = "Seeks"
};
is illegal.



However, we can do:


const char * exileKeys = (
	"Boosts",
	"Seeks",
	"Cadded By",
	"Outgoing Share [Time]",
	"Incoming Share [Time]",
	"Coins To",
	"Coins From",
	"Times Chained By",
	"Times Chained" )

enum exileKeyList
{
	cBoost = 0,
	cSeek,
	cCad,
	cShareOut,
	cShareIn,
	cCoinsTo,
	cCoinsFrom,
	cChainedBy,
	cChained,
	cEnd
};

And access the keys like:

exileKeys[cBoost]

or for example

	for(exileKeyList key = cBoost; key < cEnd; key++)
		row.push_back(exileKeys[key]);

For a nice efficiency improvement, and consolidation of our key 
constants in the header.

Sound good? Or is there a better way?
