Afternoon suckless community.
It is made clear in the suckless coding style guide when to use
#define and enums; however, it doesn't mention general global
constants.
I would search through the mailing list to see if this has been asked
before; but it seems that gmane fails to search.
I'm writing a header file that will contain constants required.
Should I use:
#define FOO 123.456
or
static double const foo = 123.456;
(or `static const double`, for those who prefer the inconsistent const
style; doesn't matter to the question)
There are pros and cons to both; pre-processor could go either way,
"static const" has scope and type safety, etc.
But specifically about the suckless style; I have seen a lot of
`#define`s and a few `static const` in suckless code.
What is more in line with the suckless style, and why?
Cheers,
