[C++/CLI] Inizialization of enum class members

[marco_segurini]

Hi,

I like to know why in a enum the inizializator has to be fully
qualified even if it belongs to the enumeration.

Many thanks.
Marco.

//--- code
#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace System;

enum class ENUM_ID_TIPO_NODO
{
TNP_MIN = 0x80,
TNP_1 = ENUM_ID_TIPO_NODO::TNP_MIN, // ok
//TNP_1 = TNP_MIN, // error C2065: undeclared identifier
TNP_2,
TNP_3,
TNP_4,
TNP_5,
TNP_MAX
};

int _tmain()
{
ENUM_ID_TIPO_NODO en = ENUM_ID_TIPO_NODO::TNP_MIN;

return 0;
}

TNP_4,
TNP_5,
TNP_MAX
};

int _tmain()
{
ENUM_ID_TIPO_NODO en = ENUM_ID_TIPO_NODO::TNP_MIN;

return 0;
}

The code converted to C++/CLI:
enum class ENUM_ID_TIPO_NODO
{
TNP_MIN = 0x80,
TNP_1 = ENUM_ID_TIPO_NODO::TNP_MIN,
TNP_2,
TNP_3,
TNP_4,
TNP_5,
TNP_MAX
};

int main()
{
ENUM_ID_TIPO_NODO en = ENUM_ID_TIPO_NODO::TNP_MIN;

return 0;
}

Regarding the qualification, I guess it follows the syntax of a class:
class SomeClass
{
public:
static const int x=7;
};

// ...
int x = SomeClass::x;
