Subject: [GSoC PATCH v2] object-name: turn INTERPRET_BRANCH_* constants into enum values
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 15:09:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318190942.22595-1-jerrywang183@yahoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260318003917.84792-1-jerrywang183@yahoo.com>
Replace the INTERPRET_BRANCH_* preprocessor constants with enum
values and use that type where these flags are stored or passed
around.
These flags describe which kinds of branches may be considered during
branch-name interpretation, so represent them as an enum describing
branch kinds while keeping the existing bitmask semantics and
INTERPRET_BRANCH_* element names.
Signed-off-by: Jialong Wang <jerrywang183@yahoo.com>
---
v2:
- rename the enum type to reflect that it describes branch kinds,
not the allowed set itself
- keep the INTERPRET_BRANCH_* enum element names unchanged
- wrap updated declarations and commit message more conventionally
