Package: cpp
Version: 3:3.3-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
If an enumerated type is used in #if statements no warning/error is given and
the TRUE branch of the #if is always executed.
Using enum in #if is declared illegal by K&R along with cast and sizeof
(page 91, paragraph 2 of 4.11.3 of "The C Programming Language, Second
Edition" [ANSI C]).
We use enum and #defines fairly interchangeably in header files for
project constants and ran into a case where I want to conditionally compile
code based on the value of the constant -- which happened to be an enumerated
type.
If the constant is a #define it works great. If the constant is an enum
value it always evaluates the TRUE case of the
#if ...
#endif
which is not obvious when reading the code.
---- sample code follows ----
#include <stdio.h>
enum {S=32, T=33};
#define MY T
int main(void)
{
#if (MY == S)
printf("MY(%d) == S\n", MY);
#else
printf("MY(%d) != S\n", MY);
#endif
return 0;
}
---- end of sample code ----
If the enum {S=32, T=33}; is replaced with
#define S 32
#define T 33
the code compiles properly.
Since normally the constants/enums are lost in some project
header file you won't necessarily know if it was created by
an enum or a #define and some warning or error message would be
appreciated.
Many thanks for an awesome compiler guys!
Regards,
Bernt

Use -Wundef to warn about use of undefined identifiers in #if. The
preprocessor has no way of knowing whether an undefined identifier is
an enumeration constant, so you'll get warnings about all of them.
