Why is this code (ideone) not allowed? What would be the workaround?
enum testEnum { e1, e2 };
testEnum te = e1 | e2;
error: invalid conversion from 'int' to 'main()::testEnum'

The problem is essentially the same as `testEnum te = 1;`, as hinted by the error. – chris Mar 27 '15 at 16:58

If you want it to *compile*, you need `testEnum te = static_cast
(e1 | e2);` But you should explain what you are actually trying to do. – Neil Kirk Mar 27 '15 at 16:59 -
Which member of `testEnum` is represented by the expression `e1 | e2`? – Lightness Races in Orbit Mar 27 '15 at 17:48
