Re: [ft-devel] those OVERFLOW_* macros and Fontval b69 (Re: Freetype-devel Digest, Vol 149, Issue 5

[Hin-Tak Leung]

Although those macros does nothing *at the moment* and purely for the purpose 
of suppressing warnings, as I said at the beginning, they can become useful if 
one replaces them with a equivalent set of macros, or inlined routines, which 
spills out warning/diagnostics info... that would make better fonts overall, 
eventually.

I do like the idea of shortening the macros and removing the "OVERFLOW_" part. 
So I'll wait a bit before going in that direction.

 find all those changes a distraction that make the code look
 uglier for no gain.  IMO warnings are just that:
 warnings.  When they don't make sense, one should turn
 them off, not bend the code to go around them...  But then
 again that's my personal opinion and how I maintain my
 code. :)
