Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] enum or #define?

Hi,

That would probably be #1.
This option makes verification against a protocol spec / RFC easiest, also such values don't have to be sequential.

Thanks,
Jaap

Which one is better?
option 1:
#define SSL_HND_HELLO_REQUEST          0
#define SSL_HND_CLIENT_HELLO           1
...

or perhaps, option 2:
enum {
SSL_HND_HELLO_REQUEST,
SSL_HND_CLIENT_HELLO,
};
...

and then (in both cases):

const value_string ssl_31_handshake_type[] = {
    { SSL_HND_HELLO_REQUEST,     "Hello Request" },
    { SSL_HND_CLIENT_HELLO,      "Client Hello" },


?

TIA,
Y.
