[Spread-users] sp.h defines collitions

[Marcelo San-Martin]

Hi John,
How can others help you to get there? It would be nice if contributors could help providing changes, it would require a bug tracking system.

Thanks,
Marcelo

In general, we agree and have been trying to move away from such things.  However, these definitions have been part of the project for a long time and getting rid of these definitions now could break old code that depended on them.

We'll work on this and see if we can come up with a good solution.

Cheers!

Hi,
I don't know if there has been discussions about this file but I am having a lot of issues regarding #defines colliding with symbols, enum, and typedef defined in other libraries, for example:

# define int16 short
# define int32 int

Are these really necessary, type definitions using #define are not a good practice? 

Definitions like LOW_PRIORITY and HIGH_PRIORITY are very common, Wouldn't be better to have all this prefixed with "SPREAD_" instead?

Thanks,
Marcelo
