I think a new flag would be best. The clang compiler has a C++-only
-Wenum-compare-switch flag which will warn about this.
Here's a better and updated testcase showing how it works:
```
#include <stdio.h>
enum enum_x { A, B };
enum enum_y { C, D };
int main(void)
{
enum enum_y y = C;
switch (y) {
case A: /* Should warn: switch() on C instead of A */
puts("A");
break;
case D:
puts("B");
break;
}
}
```
And a one-liner showing how gcc, g++, clang and clang++ handle it:
```
$ for cc in gcc g++ clang clang++; do echo $cc: && $cc -Wswitch -Wswitch-enum
-Wenum-compare -o test test.c; ./test; done
gcc:
A
g++:
A
clang:
A
clang++:
clang: warning: treating 'c' input as 'c++' when in C++ mode, this behavior is
deprecated [-Wdeprecated]
test.c:10:12: warning: comparison of different enumeration types in switch
statement ('enum enum_y' and 'enum_x') [-Wenum-compare-switch]
case A: /* Should warn: switch() on C instead of A */
^
1 warning generated.
A
```
(This is with a local GCC 10.* and LLVM 13.*, on a Debian box). Documentation
