Hello,
enum eErrors
{
eSuccess = 0,
eErr1 = 1,
eErr2 = 2,
eErr3 = 3,
};
Notice the last comma. Is this allowed by the standard or the compiler?
Or even using: int ar[] = {1,2,3,};
p.s: VC++ 6

Not in C++, but it used to be a common thing in C. The C++ grammar is
enum-specifier:
enum identifier(opt) { enumerator-list(opt) }
enumerator-list:
enumerator-definition
enumerator-list, enumerator-definition
enumerator-definition
enumerator
enumerator = constant-expression
enumerator:
identifier

That isn't standard (7.2/1 doesn't allow a terminating comma). Your
compiler may allow it as an extension (give it a go), but you should
avoid it.
Or even using: int ar[] = {1,2,3,};
That is standard (8.5/1 does optionally allow a terminating , for
aggregate initializers).

In C++ and C89/C90 the former is ill-formed, while the latter is OK. In
C99 both are OK.

The fact that the trailing comma is allowed in array initializations
but not in enum definitions was merely due to an accidental formatting
oversight in the 1989 ANSI C standard, adopted by ISO in 1990.
In the latest 1999 version of the C standard, the oversight was
corrected so if you have a C99 conforming compiler (and not many are),
the trailing comma is allowed in enums, but in C90 and C++, which
standard is based on the earlier C standard, it is illegal.
Many, perhaps most, C compilers and at least some C++ compilers accept
the trailing comma as a harmless extension.
