enum enable

enum enable

[Eli Zaretskii]

breakpoint.h declares `enum enable'.  This gets in the way with some of 
the DJGPP headers, because there's a library function by that name (which 
enables interrupts).

Is it possible to rename the enum to something less general, such as 
`enum bp_enable'?

I say, go for it. There is another 'enum enable' in memattr.c. This
one too will need to get a more specific name.

I hit this when trying to fix some of the include header problems 
several years back.  Neadless to say I ducked the issue.

My preference is for memattr.c to use ``int enabled_p'' and for 
breakpoint.h to use something like ``enum bp_state { bp_enabled, ...''.

Hmm, there is also this bit in tracepoint.h:

#if !defined (BREAKPOINT_H)
enum enable
  {
    disabled, enabled
  };
#endif

Note that I stole that from tracepoint.c, so you'll want to look there
as well.

It's been discussed before, and I think the consensus
was that it is a good idea.  I'm certainly open to it.

Thanks, I will submit a patch soon, hopefully today or tomorrow.
