https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6394 <p> Using Intel c++ compiler XE 12.1 the new c++11 strongly typed enum type isn't recognized by boost::is_enum. It is recognized by std::is_enum though: </p> <pre class="wiki">#include &lt;iostream&gt; #include &lt;type_traits&gt; #include &lt;boost/type_traits.hpp&gt; //... enum class StrongEnum { first, second }; std::cout &lt;&lt; boost::is_enum&lt;StrongEnum&gt;::value &lt;&lt; std::endl; std::cout &lt;&lt; std::is_enum&lt;StrongEnum&gt;::value &lt;&lt; std::endl; </pre><p> The output is:<br /> 0<br /> 1 </p> <p> Notice that the same bug is probably the reason why boost serialization for strongly typed enum's doesn't work either. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6394 Trac 1.4.3 John Maddock Thu, 12 Jul 2012 17:21:12 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6394#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6394#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">worksforme</span> </li> </ul> <p> With apologies for the delay, this works for me both on Linux and Win32 with the latest 12.1 compiler releases and Boost.Trunk. I don't see any relevant changes between Boost-1.48 and now either. Please reopen if it's still an issue, and please give platform details. </p> Ticket John Maddock Mon, 16 Jul 2012 10:03:32 GMT
