Paolo Carlini <paolo.carlini at oracle dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |paolo.carlini at oracle dot | |com --- Comment #15 from Paolo Carlini <paolo.carlini at oracle dot com> 2012-11-26 12:12:12 UTC --- To be clear, for: enum class Code { SUCCESS = 0 }; Code a;// = static_cast<Code>(SHRT_MAX+1); short r[] = {a}; we *error* out anyway, isn't that we are only emitting a warning and only when we are assigning the SHRT_MAX + 1.
