Hi Roopesh, Although I, too, desire the same kind of warning you mention, it just isn't C or C++. Moreso, I wish I could disable all implicit conversions. But, doing so, would be a language that isn't C or C++. It would be an "almost C" or "almost C++" language, which would break a lot of code. What you need is a different language, such as Ada or D Programming Language. Both of which are available for GCC. Or in C, you need to wrap your int in a struct. Like this: ---------------------------------------- #include <stdio.h> typedef struct myint_s { int m; } myint; void Foo(myint in) { printf("%d\n", in.m); } enum Numero { uno, dos, tres }; int main() { Foo(uno); // Bzzt. Foo(1); // Bzzt. myint i = { 1 }; Foo(i); // Good. } ---------------------------------------- Or in C++ (q.v. Stroupstrup C++PL 11.7.1)... ---------------------------------------- #include <iostream> class myint { int m; public: explicit myint(int i) : m(i) { } operator int () const { return m; } }; void Foo(myint in) { std::cout << in << std::endl; } enum MetasyntacticSugar { foo, bar, quux }; int main() { Foo(quux); // Bzzt. Foo(3); // Bzzt. Foo(myint(3)); // Good. myint i(3); Foo(i); // Good. } ---------------------------------------- CAVEAT: I just wrote these off the cuff, I haven't tried to compile them. HTH, --Eljay
