I have the problem, that the following Code produces neither warning
nor error at compile time, at least not with the Microsoft Visual C++
6.0 compiler (warning level 4)
enum E { eOne, eTwo };
struct S {
void fooDouble( double ) {};
void fooEnum( E ) {};
};
int main() {
S s;
s.fooDouble( eOne ); // neither warning nor error
return 0;
}
As you can see, accidentally an enum is passed to the method expecting
an double. In my real program, this leads to an error at run-time,
since fooDouble only accepts quit small values, i.e. values smaller
than 1.0. Has anybody an idea what I can do, maybe changes in the
methodnames/parameterlist, to provoke a warning at compile time so one
can not accidentally pass an enum to the method expecting a double?

Please drop the habit of appending a semicolon after a function body.
It just looks sloppy.

Wrap your enum in a struct and pass the struct. Inside just access the
wrapped value.
Check the value (or assert if you can debug all cases of using your
function) inside your 'fooDouble' function.
Be careful and just don't write code that passes the enum to 'fooDouble'.

Well, it can be converted implicitly.

Remove the type prefix from the function name and call your functions both
just foo. Then the compiler will automatically choose the right function. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

1. I know the rules for type conversions in arithmetic expressions
2. I know that an implicit type conversion is done at assignment, so
float x = 1.23;
int t = (int) x;
is equivalent to
int t = x;
(could the latter produce a warning on some complier?)
3. I know that implicit conversions take place with function arguments, but
am a bit shaky here. I suppose that passing a char to a function accepting

Interesting note, the code below as is will attempt to cast what is clearly
indicated as a string into a double. This is becuase the use of + as a
concatenation operator. The error message generated is included with the
code. Use & instead and it works.

I have a array of complex numbers that are stored in a simple double

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.
