While trying to port Boost.Python to HP-UX using the native "aCC" compiler I ran into this issue: void foo() { enum udt_builtin_mixture_enum { builtin_to_builtin ,builtin_to_udt ,udt_to_builtin ,udt_to_udt } ; udt_builtin_mixture_enum value1 = builtin_to_builtin; // this works udt_builtin_mixture_enum value2 = 0; // this doesn't } % aCC -AA -c enum_init.cpp "enum_init.cpp", line 11: error #2144: a value of type "int" cannot be used to initialize an entity of type "udt_builtin_mixture_enum" udt_builtin_mixture_enum value2 = 0; ^ 1 error detected in the compilation of "enum_init.cpp". Is the compiler correct in rejecting the initialization with 0? Thanks!
