Re: [PATCH 1/2] Fix sorting of enum values in FlagEnumerationPrinter


Thanks for catching this.

I find it surprising that the printer doesn't respect the
order of the values as they're defined though.  Shouldn't we
remove the sort line entirely, thus keeping the
existing behavior?  I couldn't find mention of the sorting
in the documentation either.

Or, maybe the printer doesn't work correctly if the "overlapping"
value (which I think it the whole point of this printer) is defined
before the particular values, like, e.g.:

 enum flag_enum
   {
     ALL = 1 | 2 | 4,
     FLAG_2 = 2,
     FLAG_3 = 4,
     FLAG_1 = 1,
   };

?

typo: "enumration".

Thanks,
