[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41145] Building with 64 bit indexing fails on ArchLinux and Ubuntu

[Lasse Schuirmann]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #41145 (project octave):

Thinking about a more general and more meaningful method: what about a macro
for securing constant values?


/**
 * Makes sure that no ambiguities occur when using constants.
 *
 * @param type The type to ensure.
 * @param value The value.
 */
#define  SECURE_CONST(type, value)  static_cast<type>(value)

/**
 * Simplification for SECURE_CONST.
 */
#define  SECURE_IDX_CONST(value)  SECURE_CONST(octave_idx_type, (value))


When using SECURE_IDX_CONST(0) I think it is pretty obvious that this is a
type ensurance.
