I think you're expecting too much of the compiler there. There's no requirement for the compiler to check that an enum type is passed one of it's defined values. Try building this and see if it even produces a warning: enum foo { FOO_1, FOO_2, }; int func(enum foo foo) { return foo; } int test_1(void) { return func(FOO_1); } int test_2(void) { return func(5); } -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
