Here is my enum declaration :
enum connection_primary_identifier_e : uint64_t
{
INVALID_IDENTIFIER = std::numeric_limits<std::underlying_type<connection_primary_identifier_e>::type>::max(),
}
(same happens if I use uint64_t
directly as the type, also if I use -1
or -1ULL
)
When I try to compile the file I get the following errors / warnings :
error: integer constant is so large that it is unsigned [-Werror]
error: narrowing conversion of ‘18446744073709551615I128’ from ‘__int128’ to ‘unsigned int’ inside { } [-Werror=narrowing]
error: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Werror=overflow]
cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
The really weird thing is, the errors are actually produced for non-existing lines (line number is 3 after the last line on file) on another file (which uses the enum), I made sure it isn't a missing parentheses or anything like that.
Update: Using uint32_t
doesn't produce the error.
Using g++ (GCC) 4.8.3
Might be because std::underlying_type
was initially underspecified and didn't require a complete type. This unintentionally allowed precisely this code, which uses connection_primary_identifier_e
while it's still incomplete.
Starting with C++17, your code is definitely illegal.
