It's not, as explained on the website. As stated at http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html for help using GCC you should use the gcc-help list, or to report bugs see the "How to report" link on the GCC homepage, which takes you to http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ In this case there's no bug, so please take any follow up questions to the gcc-help list, thanks. > The following doesn't compile for me. That's because it's not valid C. A global variable such as arr has static storage duration and the C99 standard says "All the expressions in an initializer for an object that has static storage duration shall be constant expressions or string literals." The errors you got are correct because const1 and const2 are not constant expressions. In C++ the code is valid, because the initializer for arr can contain non-constant expressions, and because const1 and const2 are constant expressions anyway. The code can be made valid C by replacing const1 and const2 like so: enum { const1 = 10, const2 = 11 };
