Subject: better name for var_integer et.al.
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2004 18:05:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <414883EC.9000500@gnu.org> (raw)
Hello,
GDB has the variable types:
/* Unsigned Integer. *VAR is an unsigned int. The user can type 0
to mean "unlimited", which is stored in *VAR as UINT_MAX. */
var_uinteger,
/* Like var_uinteger but signed. *VAR is an int. The user can type 0
to mean "unlimited", which is stored in *VAR as INT_MAX. */
var_integer,
/* ZeroableInteger. *VAR is an int. Like Unsigned Integer except
that zero really means zero. */
var_zinteger,
I think calling something "integer" or "unsigned integer" but then not
allowing the value zero is just plain weird.
Would anyone have better names for the first two?
Andrew
