Hi,
So I have been considering / missing some features from enums, more speficially "enum class"'es,
some of which can be found in e.g. C#. These are nice-to-have, and could in some cases be a really
great help during development and logging.
Ever tried to log the value of an enum and being dissappointed to only find an integer, requiring
a table lookup?
My first ever attempt to write a proposal can be found in the compiled pdf found here:
https://github.com/alexpanter/cpp-enum-proposal/blob/master/report.pdf
It very likely contains errors, inconsistencies, or other undesired appearances. So I apologize in advance for these.
I merely wanted to see, if there were any interest in something like this, as well as how I could proceed.
Best,
Alexander
