That paper is five years old, so not relevant to what C++11 allows. The standard says: The definition of a constexpr function shall satisfy the following constraints: [...] — its function-body shall be = delete, = default, or a compound-statement that contains only — null statements, — static_assert-declarations — typedef declarations and alias-declarations that do not define classes or enumerations, [...] so it's ill-formed to declare an enumeration.
