Title
Body
I have an enum class like this: typedef unsigned int binary_instructions_t; enum class BinaryInstructions : binary_instructions_t { END_INSTRUCTION = 0x0, RESET, SET_STEP_TIME, SET_STOP_TIME, START, ADD }; And I am trying to use the members of the enum in a switch statement like this: const std::string& function(binary_instructions_t arg, bool& error_detect) { switch(arg) { case (unsigned int)BinaryInstructions::END_INSTRUCTION: return "end"; break; } translate_error = true; return "ERROR"; } Why is the cast to (unsigned int) required when the underlying type is already an unsigned int ?
