| Is there a warning to complain for this
| program?
| 
| there probably should be.
| 
| 	int main()
| 	{
| 		enum { FOO=1, BAR=2 } blah;
| 	 
| 		blah = 5;
| 		return 0;
| 	}
| 
| 
| This is very useful if the compiler can detect when you don't use an 
| enum properly.

Umm, given that the ANSI says that enumeration constants are just
plain integers, the above program is correct and should not suffer
warnings.
