/*
 * I believe the initializer below should be allowed?
 * I've found nothing in the ARM that proves this conclusively,
 * but ARM page 114 gives an example of an enum with the initializer
 * for the enumerator being an expression involving a previously
 * defined initializer. The example was a global enum, not a nested
 * one however.
 *
 * The problem seems to be that you consider the scope of the initializers
 * to be the global scope, and I think the scope should include the current
 * enumerators.
 *
 *
 * The file is compiled with gcc 2.3.1 as follows:
 *      g++ -c bug.c
 *
 * and the output is:
 *
 * bug.c:32: `b' undeclared, outside of functions
 * bug.c:32: enumerator value for `bfirst' not integer constant
