Thanks for explaining that operation outside the norm is unspecified such that the compiler can do anything and everything. >I think a warning for this would be helpful, but asking for the compiler to >assume types can have values that they can't have is not a good idea. In the absence of making enumerations more useful (in the standard--which is unlikely), I completely agree: a warning would be helpful. Enough said by me. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42810
