[FIXED] Enum declaration in Eclipse

Issue

I'm compiling a c++ project in Eclipse, Linux.

The project was compiled in Windows in the past.

I have my declaration of enums like this:

enum nameofenum:UINT32
{
  one=0,
  two=1
}

The result is an error in eclipse.

1. What is the meaning of :UINT32?
2. How can I switch this declaration to Linux?

Thanks!!

Solution

That looks like a strongly typed enum, which is a C++0x feature. Basically, it specifies the underlying type of the enumeration, so one and two will be UINT32s.

To compile it, you need a compiler that supports this particular part of the C++0x language. I believe GCC 4.4 and Visual C++ supports strongly typed enums to some extent.
