enums as values in std::map

[aiooua]

hello,

I had a doubt regarding the handling of enums in std::map.
Consider the following piece of code:

------
#include<iostream>
#include<map>
using namespace std;
typedef enum {
UNINITIALIZED,
MEANINGFUL_1,
MEANINGFUL_2
}code;

typedef enum {
O_UNINITIALIZED = 100,
O_MEANINGFUL_1,
O_MEANINGFUL_2
}another_code;

int main(){
map<string,codecodetta;
map<string,another_codecoda;
cout<<codetta["unset"]<<endl;
cout<<coda["unset"]<<endl;
}
------

Is it ok to assume that for both maps, the data-value returned for all
unset key-values will -always- be 0?

thanks for your time,

Depending on what your code["unset"] is...your answer will be different.
However, it's certain that: UNINITIALIZED = 0, O_UNINITIALIZED = 100

I think you are correct but don't quote me on it. The right question
is
what is the default initialization of an enum.

Search this group for "default initialize enum" for some relevant
threads.
Some quote the relevant portions of the standard.
