Thanks, but I was hoping for something the other way round i.e.:
type TCommonServerCapabilitiesBase= (scConnected, scCanIssueGUID);
TLocalServerCapabilitiesBase(TCommonServerCapabilitiesBase) +=
(lscIsFirebird); // INVALID CODE, EXAMPLE ONLY.
TLocalServerCapabilities= set of TLocalServerCapabilitiesBase;
I'd be fairly happy with any solution that did the necessary
type/range checking at runtime.
Enumerations have an ordinal value that starts with 0 by default.
"Combining" enumerations has to make sure the ordinal values are
different. As a result you can go from bigger to smaller but not the
other way around. In your case with 2 subranges you could do something like:
type
TAllServerCapabilitiesBase=(uscWhatever scConnected,
scCanIssueGUID, lscIsFirebird);
TUpstreamServerCapabilitiesBase= uscWhatever .. uscCanIssueGUID;
TLocalServerCapabilitiesBase= scConnected..lscIsFirebird;
Just make sure you put the common values in the middle.
