The mine one is more generic I think, and while it adds new TYPE_CODE it
can be used for other purposes as well (IIRC recently someone committed
a patch that depended on this type code but had to revert it).
I'm afraid people don't know how to use the complex, nested
TYPE_CODE_SET, while the usage of TYPE_CODE_FLAGS is pretty simple.
If would change it so that it isn't c-specific, but rather language
independent, would you consider approval? Other things (eg. length of
the flagword) aren't IMHO that important for now.
But Andrew's patch doesn't require a new infrastructure, which is nice.
I stand by all my previous objections to your patch. We have a type
that does this; fix its complex, nested interface, then! Don't add
more type codes.
It's er, not really my patch :-) The original code is Fernando's. I'm
as they say, the messenger here.
