Odd return with MCP_STARTUP

[DarkMinion]

For some reason, I'm getting a return of 0x0000007f on MCP_STARTUP, which is not listed on bnetdocs as a known return value.  Anyone have any ideas?

[DarkMinion]

Apparently it means you've received a temporary IPBan from MCP server...odd

[DarkMinion]

Arta, you should add that as a possible return value for MCP_STARTUP in bnetdocs when you get a chance

I think it would look nicer if the "f" was capitalized.

I disagree.  I prefer my numeric constants to have lowercase capitalization.  But thanks for the comment.

May i ask, why? Usually caps make things stand more out. Wouldn't you want it to stand out?

With lowercased letters I find it easier to determin sertian leters from each other (F and E for example [f and e])

Look a lot less similar in nature to each than:

BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE MY HEX NUMBERS TO LOOK LIKE THEY'RE YELLING.

It's okay to type the identifiers out in caps for constants, as it's commonly used:

Code Select Expand


const int MAX_BYTES_PER_MSG = 412;

#define INCOMING_BUFFER_LENGTH 0x7ff


I just prefer lowercase numeric literals.

Caps are bad, as shown by 0XBADFACE.

I have a question: Why the hell does it matter?

It doesn't, really.  We're just bored.
