[previous] 0646 [next] [C] Enumeration constants must have values representable as 'int's.
Constraint violations REFERENCE - ISO:C90-6.5.2.2 Enumeration Specifiers - Constraints

This is a constraint error

This enumeration constant cannot be represented in type int. The type of an enumeration constant is always int and therefore the value can never exceed what can be stored in an object of type int. For example: 


/*PRQA S 553,722,1434,3602 ++*/

enum list
{
   /* int is assumed to be 32 bits */
   HEAD = 2147483647,   /* OK           - maximum possible value */
   TAIL                 /* Message 0646 - too large              */
};
