Bug ID: 96496 Summary: Conversion to enum with underlying type bool produces wrong result Product: gcc Version: 11.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: wrong-code Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: fw at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- enum E : bool { One, Two }; int f1 (int x) { return (E) x; } The conversion must first be to type bool, according to: “If the enumeration type has a fixed underlying type, the value is first converted to that type by integral conversion, if necessary, and then to the enumeration type.” <http://eel.is/c++draft/expr.static.cast#10> And that must produce a comparison against zero: “A zero value, null pointer value, or null member pointer value is converted to false; any other value is converted to true.” <http://eel.is/c++draft/conv.bool#1> Currently, GCC performs a bit mask (at -O2): _Z2f1i: movl %edi, %eax andl $1, %eax ret
