--- Comment #10 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
No.
They're not "less strict", but they have a fixed underlying type. For any
enumeration type with a fixed underlying type (whether "enum class" or just
"enum") the validvalues of the type are all the valid values of the underlying
type.
So:
enum E : unsigned char { e1, e2 };
enum class F : unsigned char { f1, f2 };
Both of these types can have any value from 0-255, so a switch statement that
only handles the e1/e2 or or f1/f2 is incorrect.
I wish people would just learn how enums work, it's not that complicated.
