Why do libraries define their own true and false?
(pawb.social)
I’m working through the vulkan tutorial and came across GLFW_TRUE and GLFW_FALSE. I presume there’s a good reason but in looking at the docs it’s just defining 1 and 0, so I’m sorta at a loss as to why some libraries do this (especially in cpp?).
Tangentially related is having things like vk_result which is a struct that stores an enum full of integer codes.
Wouldn’t it be easier to replace these variables with raw int codes or in the case of GLFW just 1 and 0?
Coming mostly from C, and having my caps lock bound to escape for vim, the amount of all caps variables is arduous for my admittedly short fingers.
Anyway hopefully one of you knows why libraries do this thanks!
I work with young people starting out in IT, so I'm used to getting screenshots, and I'm so used to screenshots made with a phone instead of just capturing the screen, that I've stopped complaining... But come on! At least evaluate the result of the first picture and maybe do another if it's illegible.
Yeah that’s fair— this is my focus workstation so don’t have any messaging apps or email to send the screenshot but def could have taken a second picture.
