SOSFULONG(3iv)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, SoSFULong — it's literally just a synonym for SoSFUInt32. that's it. that's the whole name section. iconic of her honestly 💅

🌸 INHERITS FROM 🌸

the family tree goes like this, no cap:

• SoField → SoSField → SoSFULong

so she's got all the ancestors' genes, for better or worse 🧬✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta let her in the door:

#include <Inventor/fields/SoSFUInt32.h>

yes, bestie, you include the SoSFUInt32.h header — read the DESCRIPTION before you come for me 😭

look at that list. she's carrying the whole friend group on her back fr fr 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, and it's giving legacy code:

This class is obsolete, and is provided for backwards compatibility only. 💀

you should be using the shiny new SoSFUInt32 class instead. like, the new one ate, periodt.

and here's the dramatic part — the actual warning, don't skip it:

If you compile your code with -DIV_STRICT, #including the SoSFULong.h header file will cause a compile-time error.

so if you flip that strict switch and still try to bring SoSFULong.h to the party, the compiler will straight up slam the door in your face 😭 not a warning, not a vibe check — an error. respect the boundary, bestie 🌈

ngl the whole point is: this class is a historical artifact kept around so your old code doesn't break. new code? use SoSFUInt32. iykyk ✨

that's the whole page, and yes the footer is just SoSFULong(3IV)() — same title, section 3IV, and no date on it at all, which is very "she left the group chat in 2003 and never came back" of her 🙈 mwah, love u, go write some SoSFUInt32 💖🎀🦋
