[jira] [Updated] (XERCESC-2256) Change enum tokType (util/regx/Token.hpp) member names

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2256?page=3Dcom.atlass=
ian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Florian Wiesner updated XERCESC-2256:
-------------------------------------
    Description:=20
the current enumeration uses T_CHAR, T_STRING, etc. as enumeration values. =
Those symbol names are generic enough to cause clashes with other libraries=
 - where T_CHAR, T_STRING, etc. are used as macros/definitions.

=C2=A0

Minimum improvement would be to us more distinctive names (or not fully upp=
ercase ones at least). Could be much nicer even when the enum would be conv=
erted to an enum class on top

  was:the current enumeration uses T_CHAR, T_STRING, etc. as enumeration va=
lues. Those symbol names are generic enough to cause clashes with other lib=
raries - espe. Therefore, a change to C++11 scoped enums would fix this pot=
ential for clashes on the side of Xerces.
