[Debian-med-packaging] C++ help needed for new version of tifffile

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I migrated the Debian packaging of tifffile from SVN to Git[1].  After
upgrading to the latest upstream version (dated 2017-09-14) I get:

...

...


It seems that the definition of GET_NEXT_CODE is just wrong - but
what would be correct?

Any help is welcome

       Andreas.
