[cfe-dev] 64-bit enum

Wed Apr 5 10:17:32 PDT 2017

The C standard says that enum type is 'int':

"The expression that deﬁnes the value of an enumeration constant shall be an integer constant expression that has a value representable as an int."

In C++11 you can specify the type.

Subject: [cfe-dev] 64-bit enum

Can we make enums 64 bit at least when compiling for 64 bit platforms? I don't understand why they're limited to (SIGNED) 32 bit, it just doesn't make any sense.
