Thread: Best way to do this...

I have a long list of contstants which are #defined, and for each constant in the list there's two entries in another constant list (start and end)

So...

#define IDLE 0
#define WALK 1

// ...

#define IDLE_START 0
#define IDLE_END 22
#define WALK_START 23
#define WALK_END 50

would be an example of the two lists. I want to clean this up a bit (this isn't my code) so I first opted for an enum:

enum state { idle, walk, ... };
But that still leaves the other list for which I don't know what to do.
Basically, I need a way of connecting one constant to two other constants. I could whip something ugly up, but i'm looking for an elegant solution.

Thanks in advance.

After some tinkering, this is what I came up with...

Code:

const struct state
{
    state(int s, int e) : start(s), end(e) {};
    int start;
    int end;
} idle(0, 23), walk(24, 50);

typedef const state& stateref;

It seems to be a good solution.
Thanks Eibro.
