C: A Reference Manual (Harbison and Steele) says:
Draft Proposed ANSI C and most current implementations mandate
that all enumeration types be treated as integer types, and that
all enumeration constants appearing in expressions have type int.
Does this mean:
int a;
enum { abc, def} b;
enum {ghi, jkl} c;
b=a;
a=b;
a=abc;
c=abc;
b=c;
are legal, or are explicit casts necessary? The sun compiler likes
to complain, will ANSI compilers complain?
