Yay INT2BYTE!

[PaulBlay]

I've been putting in a lot of debug-mode checking on type conversion into my code and it's finally paid off.

#ifndef NDEBUG
# define INT2BYTE(P) int2byte(P)
#else
# define INT2BYTE(P) (byte) (P)
#endif

#ifndef NDEBUG
byte int2byte(const int P)
{	
	assert(P >= 0);
	assert(P <= 255);
	return((byte) P);
}
#endif

It caught that the ego_item data I'm using allows negative to hit / to dam bonuses but the ego_item_type struct in Vanilla Angband stores them in byte (unsigned char) variables.

May I invite you to the darkness that is C++?

From Zaiband:

/*
 * Class to automate runtime checking of valid usage of m_idx against mon_list
 * It has some obnoxious traits, so use only when mon_list+m_idx_type needs to work automatically.
 */
class m_idx_type
{
	s16b _m_idx;
public:
	m_idx_type() {};
	m_idx_type(s16b src) : _m_idx(src) {assert(0<src);assert(mon_max>src);};
	void operator=(s16b src) {assert(0<src);assert(mon_max>src);_m_idx = src;};
	operator s16b() const {return _m_idx;};
	s16b operator--() {assert(1<_m_idx); return --_m_idx;}
	s16b operator--(int) {assert(1<_m_idx); return _m_idx--;}
};

Haha, well not until I've reached beta with C at any rate.

One programming language is more than enough to learn at a time.
