On: C preprocessor tips and tricks

[xiaq]

Enums can be used for that purpose.

[_kst_ → xiaq]

True, but only for type int.

    enum { MAX = 1000 };

[J_Darnley → _kst_]

Why is this preferable over a preprocessor define? Is it because it can't be redefined easily? A max or count is certainly useful when there are other enum values but I don't see the huge advantage it has here.

[_kst_ → J_Darnley]

Enumeration constants have scope.
