As I understand it, loaded statement, a using declaration should be all I
need to see an enum from within a namespace. The below code works fine with
class, struct, and union. What gives? As the code says, if I employ the
using directive, I'm ok.
/* built with Visual C++ 6, SP 5 */
namespace Traffic
{
enum Light { red, yellow, green };
}
int main( void )
{
/*using namespace Traffic; /* using directive. OK */
using Traffic::Light; /* using declaration. error C2065: 'red' :
undeclared identifier */
Light broken = red;
return broken;
} 3 3225

C doesn't have using declarations. Please don't ask C++
questions in comp.lang.c.

You probably want to restrict your C++ questions to comp.lang.c++. When
you post to both that newsgroup and comp.lang.c, you really should have a
question which could be answered in either language. Those questions are
becoming rarer, with both C++ features not part of C and C features not
part of C++, as well as situations in which the answers are different --
either because the languages are different or because the usual idiom and
normal practice is different in the two languages.
In this case, there is no "using directive" or "using declaration" in C.
Namespace rules differ in the two languages, and named namespaces are not
part of C at all.
I have set followups to comp.lang.c++ only. Should you have a C question,
feel free to post that in comp.lang.c.
[C++ content follows, topical for one of the xposted newsgroups; please
ignore c.l.c]
Why not just use:
namespace Traffic
{
enum Light
{ red, yellow, green };
}
int main(void)
{
Traffic::Light broken = Traffic::red;
return broken;
}

Not quite new version of GCC that I have to use, craps with the following
code:

That is, it doesn't accept forward declaration of enum. C++ standard text
doesn't explicitly say about enum's forward declaration, but one example
shows it in 18.2.1, clause 4:

I'm writing a class with a method that will accept 1 of 3 items listed in an

EXAMPLE:

I have been trying to improve the quality of my C# and ADO.NET coding.
One of the books I've read strongly advises against using string values
to address individual values in DataRow objects. This rings true to me
after years of avoiding string lookups whenever possible. But, when I
attempted to implement this recommendation I appear to run into casting
issues. Thus:
enum myFields {
field1 = 0,
field2 = 1

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
