Validating an enumeration on input using switch and a warning

	//So you have an enumeration that counts up to some value.
	enum {
	A = 1,
	B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I,
	J
	};

	//You may be reading this enum from an input file. You'd like to check whether you have a valid value.
	//One way would be to have a count value:

boredzo / PRHKeyValueCoding.m

Last active December 25, 2015 16:19

Macro to implement compile-time checking of KVC keys and key paths, but only in debug builds.

	#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

	/*Usage:
	*PRH_KVCKey(employer)
	*PRH_KVCKeyPath(employer, employees, count)
	*/

	#define NDEBUG 1

	//A selector that cannot be a valid KVC key, but is a known selector (i.e., the compiler won't warn that it's unknown), and is long enough that its length is probably unique.

“Every Answer's Terrible”, a song for Stack Overflow questions with half a dozen shitty answers and not one solution among them. Reference: http://xkcd.com/1052/

	Here's a bunch of sample code to drop into your app for free
	I didn't bother test it, I just puked out a class hastily
	I might not have even written it, I might've simply Googled it
	It might not even work at all; the author might have bungled it

	Explanations are for losers for whom the code alone's not good enough
	The sort of folks infatuated with things like truly learning stuff
	This code is what you asked about; is a sample not enough for you?
	Is understanding the solution really such a thing for you?
