I'm currently testing the November CTP for Visual Studio 2012 and came across an interesting problem: Is it mandated by the standard that for strongly typed enumerations the enum and struct/class keywords have to be in the same line or is that an error in the implementation that should be reported to Microsoft?
This compiles:
enum struct name : type { ...
This does not (C2332)
enum
struct name : type { ...
EDIT: as James suggested this is a bug in the implementation and was reported to Microsoft
Yes, this is undoubtedly a bug. Newlines are not significant after preprocessing.
This is tracked by the following issue on Microsoft Connect (To the OP: Thank you for opening this bug.):
If this bug is important to you, please upvote it on Microsoft Connect. Note that there is a trivial workaround: don't place a newline between the enum and struct keywords.
