Thread: #old c code #convert

I kind of remember that one could use int indexes into an enum, but I'm not sure about this idea. How do I get around this mess?

Why not just use 'NO_TOKEN' in place of the literal '0'? Otherwise, you could redefine 'token_code' to be a plain 'int'. As the compiler message say, you can also use the -fpermissive flag to cause a warning to be a raised instead of an error.
