Are you sure it's not just a bitshift thing, like so:

foo->ack_type = 1 << ack_type_from_command;

That's how I'd have done it, and then let ack_type serve doubly as
"has_been_acked" sort of thing.

I haven't checked myself though, so I could be completely wrong (I'm
lazy today, as it's a fine spring day in sweden )

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
