Err... that's what #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue is for...

What about that:

Code: Select all

Enumeration [<constant> [Step <constant>]] 
  #Constant1
  #Constant2 [= <constant>]
  #Constant3
  ...
EndEnumeration #EnumCount

Makes more sense to me...

Also what if you have more than one enumeration.

I suppose you just use another CountConstant ...

#Gadgets
#SpecialStuff
#DontNeedThisOne
etc.

I meant in response to #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue

What I meant was that you don't have to actually save the last enumeration
count to a dedicated constant as #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue already
does exactly that. Hence "#BlahCount" is obsolete.

I'm aware of the fact this may not help with your actual problem though.

The problem with the "PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue is it store only the last enumeration value, which means than:

1) if you have several enumeration, it will work only for the last one
2) if your enumeration isn't sequencial it will store the last value, and not the count.

The suggestion with the #Count contant at the end of the enumeration looks good to me.
