Well, my suggestion had been to just leave it as a non-enum-class, like it was before -- with no casts to or from the enum type. I think the code as it was before was actually safe, too, wasn't it? I'm just not really sure using strong enums for the CABI type is really buying much, since the basically only point of the C ABI kind is to use it as an integer. Essentially every uses of it will be converting to/from integers, won't it? I don't really feel strongly though, so if you want to go ahead, I'm okay with that. http://reviews.llvm.org/D18876 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
