--- Comment #12 from Paul Koning <pkoning at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-10-12 14:04:30 UTC --- You said "GCC treats types compatible when they have the same precision". That's where the problem lies, because enums with -fstrict-enums have their precision set to just enough bits to hold the range of values, rather than the precision of the base integer type. So in the test case in question, the variable's precision is 32 bits while the right hand side precision is 2 bits.
