digitalmars.D - Inferred enum base types
- Lennart Blanco (18/18) Oct 14 2011 Hi
Hi When compiling following code with dmd (v2.051) enum nums { X = 'a', Y, Z } void main() { nums q; char w; w = q; } I get 'Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (q) of type nums to char' for the 'w = q' assigment. Should'n the inferred base type for 'nums' be char, given that the first 'nums' member is initilized with char literal 'a'? When the nums declaration is changed to: enum nums : char { X = 'a', Y, Z } the code compiles without errors. It seems that when enums base type is allways inferred to int. Am I missing something or is it an DMD bug? /lennart
