[previous] 1432 [next] An enum object is being assigned to an object of non-enum type.
Arithmetic type - Enum types REFERENCE - ISO:C90-6.5.2.2 Enumeration Specifiers

An enum object is being assigned to an object which is not of enum type.

This is perfectly legal, but perhaps the object should be defined with enum type ?

For example: 


/*PRQA S 2017,2211,2213,3199,3203,3227,3408,3447,3448,3602 ++*/

typedef enum TC { red, green, blue, yellow } COLOUR;

extern void foo1(int container);

extern int foo2(COLOUR paper)
{
    int box;

    box = paper;                /* Message 1432 - enum object assigned to int object     */
    foo1(paper);                /* Message 1431 - enum object passed to int parameter    */
    return paper;               /* Message 1433 - enum object returned from int function */
}
