I seem to have run into some inconsistencies with regard to how the
compilers I have are handling enumerators.

Given the following code fragment:

{
   enum { APPLE, ORANGE, PEAR} fruit;
   enum { RED=100, BLUE, YELLOW} color;

   color = PEAR;
}

One of the compilers I have compiles this without any warning.

The other compiler gives me the following error:

W, test.cc(7,10) enum assigned to enum of different type
                 v
7          color = PEAR;

_________________________________________________

The question I have is, are enumerators supposed to do type checking?
I tend to think that the compiler should issue an error and am
wondering if the warning is generated to allow older code to compile.

Please e-mail directly to me.  Thanks.
