 Posted: Sun Dec 24, 2006 1:29 am Post subject: enum point of declaration |
 |
|
Hi,
3.3.1/3 has an example which does not compile on gcc 4.1.1.
Is it meant to compile?
const int x = 12;
enum { x = x };
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
return 0;
}
test.cpp:4: error: 'x' redeclared as different kind of symbol
test.cpp:3: error: previous declaration of 'const int x'
Thanks,
---

No, your program should not compile since both "x"'s are declared
within the same scope. In the actual example, the enum declaration has
local scope (hence the surrounding brackets).
A comparable example would be:
const int x = 12;
int main()
{
enum { x = x };
}

The enum is supposed to be in a nested scope.
Try the following:
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
const int x = 12;
{ enum { x = x }; }
return 0;
}
Note the braces round the enum declaration.
