Write(_Null) naming conflicts #171

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What is the problem?

Emitter& Write(const _Null& null) - using several libraries that define 'null' 
as a macro, the yaml library will generate compilation errors. Plus, generally 
bad practice to name a variable 'null'.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latest master branch (not sure of the version, it's not printed anywhere)

Sure, it's not a bad idea to change it here. But you should complain to those 
libraries that leak macros of common words - surely that's "worse practice".

It goes both ways ;) I'll make a note of it to open up tickets there, but why 
be another library that does it? ;)
