Enum class doesn't convert to u32 properly

[hoary spruce]

Hey. I defined an enum class like this:

enum class BitEnum : quint32 { ..., SIZE };

But it looks like the conversion from BitEnum to quint32 still doesn't happen here when I declare this bitset:

std::bitset<BitEnum::SIZE> bits;

Am I missing something here? Is there a way to do this without static_cast?

Not without the cast, if it has to be an enum class

[hoary spruce]

There are over 1000 constant values that need to be +1 from one another, so I think I need an enum yes

If its just enum and not enum class then it can implicitly convert to underlying_type

But enummay conflict with other enums that have the same names, right?

[vale mesa]

Yes

Im just telling you that, scoped enum donot automatically convert

I'd just recommend casting but if for some reason you want implicit conversion you can wrap an unscoped enum into namespace

Oh this is smart. I don't think I'll do that but I'll definitely remember the trick

Thank you!
