Objective-C / C giving enums default values
- by bandejapaisa
I read somewhere about giving enums default values like so:
typedef enum {
MarketNavigationTypeNone = 0,
MarketNavigationTypeHeirachy = 1,
MarketNavigationTypeMarket = 2
} MarketNavigationLevelType;
.. but i can't remember the value of doing this. If i don't give them default values - and then someone later on reorders the enum - what are the risks?
If i always use the enum name and don't even refer to them by their integer value, is there any risks?
The only possible problem i can think of is if i'm initialising an enum from an int value from a DB - and the enum is reordered - then the app would break.
