Some libraries, such as LLVM, use a "superproject" pattern, where consumers of the library, such as libcxx, should live inside of the libraries' folder-structure. In the case of LLVM, this is llvm/projects.
This seems quite limiting, as it makes it harder use the library when there are other folder-structure constraints.
Why was this descision made, and what are some reasons to use such a layout?

What are some good options that don't require me to rewrite the function in another language?

I have started using strongly typed enums. Looking through my current project there are a few places were I still prefer plain enums.
If the strongly typed characteristic is unneeded and the enum is being used for its implicit conversion to int, are there any other tradeoffs that would make conventional enums a bad choice?

I am wondering if -Dfoobar the standard way for adding definition to the compiler for all the C++ compiler.
-Dfoobar works for all the compilers that have ever been used to compile Firefox, which is good enough for me. The Microsoft compilers also accept /Dfoobar, of course.
